Testing method

Endotoxin testing

For laboratory research use only. Not for human consumption.

What it measures
Bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide from Gram-negative bacteria) in the sample.
How it works
The Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) reagent reacts with endotoxin. The reaction is read as gel formation, turbidity or colour change and compared with an endotoxin standard.
Sample
A dissolved portion of the vial contents in endotoxin-free water.
Result reported as
Endotoxin units (EU) per milligram or per millilitre (EU/mg, EU/mL).
Limits
Detects endotoxin only. It says nothing about live organisms; that is a sterility test.
Standards
USP General Chapter <85> Bacterial Endotoxins Test; Ph. Eur. 2.6.14 Bacterial endotoxins
