E-TOXATE REAGENT FROM LIMULUS POLYPHEMUS is widely used in the detection of bacterial endotoxins in various pharmaceutical and medical products. It is a critical tool in ensuring the safety and sterility of injectable drugs, vaccines, and medical devices. The reagent is derived from the blood cells of the horseshoe crab and is highly sensitive to lipopolysaccharides, which are components of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is employed in the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) test, a standard method for endotoxin testing. This helps manufacturers comply with regulatory requirements and ensures that products are free from harmful bacterial contamination. Additionally, it is used in research laboratories to study inflammatory responses and sepsis, as endotoxins are known to trigger these conditions. Its application is essential in maintaining the quality and safety of healthcare products.
