Endotoxin refers to a component of the outer cell membrane of Gram-negative bacteria called lipopolysaccharide (LPS). LPS is the biologically active portion of naturally occurring endotoxin complexes.

This article discusses current methods of endotoxin testing, its importance to the industry, sustainability issues relating to the process, and best practices. The potentially devastating effects of ...

THE role of bacterial endotoxins in the pathogenesis of infections due to endotoxin-containing bacteria is not clear. It is commonly assumed that endotoxin is a major factor in determining toxicity ...

Have you ever wondered why endotoxin testing is crucial? Endotoxins are toxic substances found in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, and they can cause severe reactions in humans, including ...

Purpose It is well known that endotoxins in storage medium may stimulate cytokine production and expression of adhesion molecules as well as endothelial damage in human corneal grafts. It has been ...

Novel Approach to Achieving Consistent Results with the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate Test The standard tool for screening endotoxins—highly toxic, heat-stable lipopolysaccharides that constitute the outer ...

Information on home characteristics such as age and structure of the house, household cooking behavior, and ownership of domestic animals was recorded by interviewing the family members of the study ...

New research shows that bacteria lurking in household dust produce chemicals that may trigger asthma and asthma-related symptoms such as wheezing. These bacterial chemicals, called endotoxins, ...

What are the benefits of microfluidic automation? Microfluidic automation is the most straightforward available form of automation for endotoxin testing on the market today. It streamlines endotoxin ...

The Sievers Eclipse BET Platform combines ease-of-use and groundbreaking technology to automate endotoxin assay setup without altering reaction biochemistry or compliance. What it does alter is the ...

It has been reported that bacteria lurking in household dust is sufficient enough to produce chemicals called endotoxins that may trigger asthma and asthma-related symptoms such as wheezing. A strong ...
