About this item
The Pierce LAL Chromogenic Endotoxin Quantitation Kit measures the amount of endotoxin in a protein, peptide, or antibody sample using the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) assay.
- Sensitive - detect as little as 0.1 EU/ml
- Fast - perform this assay in 30 minutes using a 96-well microplate
The endotoxin concentration in a sample is measured using the Pierce LAL Chromogenic Endotoxin Quantitation Kit via a chromogenic signal generated in the presence of endotoxins. Samples can be measured on a microplate absorbance reader at 405nm. Determining endotoxin levels is important to assess the efficiency of endotoxin removal methods and prevent endotoxic shock, inflammation and/or sepsis in tissue culture cells and animals injected with endotoxin contaminated proteins.
