About this item
The SLP-HS Single Reagent Set II is able to detect both peptidoglycan (PG) and (1-3)-β-D-glucan (BDG). The product uses a self-defense mechanism of silkworm Bombyx mori which leads to a color change by building a black melanin pigment in the presence of microbial contamination.
- SLP (Silkworm Larvae Plasma reagent) based test principle
- Assay Kinetic Colorimetric
- PG isolated from S. aureus used as standard
- Detection limit: 1 pg/ml (BDG)/10 pg/ml (PG)
- Speciment: any sample
- Analysis automated through Toximaster® software
- Measurement time: 120 minutes at 30 °C
- Sensitivity: 10 pg/ml (PG), 1 pg/ml (β-glucan) (detected within 120 minutes with Toxinometer® at 30 ℃)
Since PG is found in all bacterial cell walls and BDG in most fungi, the SLP (silkworm larvae plasma)-reagent constitutes a highly sensitive and broadband method for detection of microbial contamination.
