Descripción

Descripción general

Endotoxin, present in Gram-negative bacteria, is a pyrogenic substance. Its ability to form stable interactions with other biomolecules makes it challenging to remove, particularly during the manufacturing of biopharmaceutical drugs. Endotoxin primarily comprises O-antigen, core polysaccharide, and lipid A components.
Suitable for Bacterial Endotoxins Test (BET) - a test to detect or quantify endotoxins from Gram-negative bacteria using amoebocyte lysate from the horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus or Tachypleus tridentatus). BET comprises three tests:

• the gel-clot technique
• the turbidimetric technique
• the chromogenic technique
