# Chromogenic Endotoxin Quantification Kit for Accurate Bacterial Toxin Measurement
## Introduction to Endotoxin Detection
Endotoxins, also known as lipopolysaccharides (LPS), are toxic components of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. These potent pyrogens can cause fever, septic shock, and other serious health effects when introduced into the bloodstream. Accurate measurement of endotoxin levels is crucial in pharmaceutical manufacturing, medical device testing, and water quality control.
## How the Chromogenic Endotoxin Quant Kit Works
The Chromogenic Endotoxin Quant Kit utilizes a sensitive and specific chromogenic assay based on the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) reaction. This innovative kit provides:
– Quantitative measurement of endotoxin levels
– High sensitivity with a detection range of 0.005-1.0 EU/mL
– Clear colorimetric readout for easy interpretation
– Compatibility with standard microplate readers
