The Limulus Color KY Series are quantitative kinetic chromogenic assays (KCA) that are endotoxin-specific and unreactive to (1→3)-β-D-glucan. This series includes both a multi-test kit and a single-test kit, which utilize a synthetic substrate that produces a yellow color to detect endotoxin with high sensitivity.
- KCA quantitative range detection limit of 0,0002 to 2 EU/ml
- Reagent reacts with endotoxin in a wide range of its concentrations
- High sensitivity to reduce the chance of interfering factors
- Can be used with Toxinometer®
- Reduces the chance of contamination and no wasted reagent during testing
- Measurement system: Toxinometer
All reagent kits are matched with a Control Standard Endotoxin (CSE). These reagents work well with samples that are very turbid or show difficulty in quantification by the kinetic turbidimetric assay (KTA).
Limulus Color KY single-test vials come with pre-dispensed LAL reagent for a single measurement. This configuration is used by adding 0,2 ml of the sample directly to the reaction vial containing the lyophilised reagent. This single-test vial is ideal for user testing a smaller number of samples or one that is less-experienced.
