LAL (Lysate of Limulus Amaebocytes) test

Regulatory reference: USP85.
Claim: Absence of bacterial endotoxins
Application field: Medical devices: raw ingredients and finished products.
Description of the test: Lysate of limulus amaebocytes (LAL) is an acqueous extract obtained by Limulus polyphemus amaebocytes. The LAL reacts strongly to endotoxins in Gram-negative bacterial membranes (lypopolysacchartides), resulting in coagulation. This property is exploited in the LAL test to detect endotoxins.
