Product Description

Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) is a powerful aqueous extract derived from the blood cells (amoebocytes) found within the majestic Atlantic horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus. LAL demonstrates a unique reactivity with the bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS), an integral membrane component found in gram-negative bacteria. This reactivity forms the foundation of the renowned LAL test, extensively embraced for the precise detection and quantification of bacterial endotoxins.

In various parts of Asia, a comparable Tachypleus amebocyte lysate (TAL) test, leveraging the unique properties of local horseshoe crabs, Tachypleus gigas or Tachypleus tridentatus, is sometimes utilized as an alternative.The innovative recombinant factor C (rFC) assay serves as a cutting-edge replacement for LAL/TAL, employing a comparable reaction mechanism.
