Bacterial Endotoxin Count
Bacterial Endotoxin Count
Bacterial endotoxin count, also known as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) testing, is a critical analysis used to detect and quantify endotoxins produced by Gram-negative bacteria.
Purpose: The primary purpose of bacterial endotoxin count is to
1. Ensure Product Safety: Verify that products, especially pharmaceuticals and medical devices, are safe for use and do not contain excessive levels of endotoxins.
2. Comply with Regulations: Meet regulatory requirements and standards for endotoxin limits in various industries.
Applications
1. Pharmaceuticals: Ensuring injectable drugs and other pharmaceutical products are free from excessive endotoxins.
2. Medical Devices: Verifying that medical devices, especially those that come into contact with bodily fluids, meet endotoxin standards.
3. Biotechnology: Monitoring endotoxin levels in biotechnology products and processes.
