Principles of a quantitative assay for bacterial endotoxins in blood that uses Limulus lysate and a chromogenic substrate.
Some factors affecting the use of chromogenic substrates with Limulus lysate for assaying bacterial endotoxins in blood have been assessed. It was found that endogenous amidases, which degrade the substrate, could be inactivated by heating serum at 60 degrees C for 15 min. Endotoxin was found not to be removed from serum during clotting. A potent inhibitor of the activated lysate was found to b...
متن کاملSingle-step, chromogenic Limulus amebocyte lysate assay for endotoxin.
A new reagent for the chromogenic Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) assay is described. LAL was formulated for optimal performance in either an endpoint procedure or a kinetic procedure with the chromogenic substrate, buffer, and LAL components colyophilized as a single reagent. The kinetic chromogenic method required an incubating microplate reader coupled to a computer for collection and analysi...
متن کاملRapid and direct staphylocoagulase assay that uses a chromogenic substrate for identification of Staphylococcus aureus.
A rapid and direct assay of staphylocoagulase that uses chromogenic substrate Chromozym TH was developed for the routine identification of Staphylococcus aureus. False-positive and false-negative reactions were eliminated by measuring the activity of staphylocoagulase-prothrombin complex directly. The method was compared with three clotting assays. The results show that the new assay is specifi...
متن کاملEndotoxin Detection in Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices with Kinetic-QCL, a Kinetic-Quantitative Chromogenic Limulus Amebocyte Lysate Assay.
The observation that endotoxin caused gelation in extracts of Limulus amebocytes has been expanded to the development of an in vitro kinetic, quantitative chromogenic LAL assay (Kinetic-QCL) for the detection of endotoxin in aqueous fluids. Within the last 15 years, the use of Limulus amebocyte lysate to detect and control the presence of pyrogenic substances in pharmaceuticals and medical devi...
متن کاملDetermination of endotoxin in injectable antibiotic preparations by the chromogenic assay method using a Limulus reagent (Tachypleus hemocyte lysate) and a chromogenic substrate.
The effects of 50 antibiotics on the detection and determination of bacterial endotoxins by the chromogenic method using a Limulus reagent (Tachypleus hemocyte lysate) and a chromogenic substrate of p-nitroaniline derivatives were tested, and the antibiotic concentration for 50% inhibition of the chromogenic reaction in the presence of 0.5 ng of endotoxin (Escherichia coli 0111:B4) per ml was e...
