Transitioning From Gel Clot To Kinetic Testing

Endotoxins are ubiquitously present in the environment and are primarily released from the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria during bacterial lysis. If bacterial endotoxins gain parenteral access to the human organism, they may cause inflammation, septic shock, hemorrhage, and even death. Moreover, in research applications, endotoxin contamination leads to unreliable results and possibly misleading interpretations. Therefore, endotoxin testing has become an integral part of the development and quality control of injectable pharmaceuticals and medical devices.
