ENDOTOXIN Test Cost AED:700.0
Are you experiencing symptoms such as fever, inflammation, or septic shock? It might be worth considering an ENDOTOXIN Test. DNA Labs UAE offers this test at a cost of AED 700.0.
Test Details
The endotoxin test, also known as the Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) test, is a method used to detect the presence of endotoxins in pharmaceutical products, medical devices, and biological samples. Endotoxins are lipopolysaccharides (LPS) found in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria.
The LAL test utilizes the blood of the horseshoe crab, which contains a clotting agent called amebocyte lysate. This lysate is sensitive to endotoxins and will cause gelation or clotting in the presence of even small amounts of endotoxins.
The test involves mixing the sample being tested with the LAL reagent and observing for any gelation or clotting reaction. There are different types of endotoxin tests, including the gel clot method, turbidimetric method, and chromogenic method.
The gel clot method is the most common and simplest form of the test. If gelation occurs after mixing the sample with the LAL reagent, it indicates the presence of endotoxins. The turbidimetric and chromogenic methods are more quantitative and provide a numerical value for the endotoxin concentration in the sample.
The endotoxin test is a critical quality control test in the pharmaceutical and medical industries, as it ensures the safety of products intended for human use. It is a sensitive and specific method for detecting endotoxins and is widely accepted by regulatory agencies such as the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and the European Pharmacopoeia (EP).
Symptoms and Diagnosis
If you are experiencing symptoms such as fever, inflammation, or septic shock, it is important to consult with a doctor, specifically a Nephrologist. They will be able to evaluate your symptoms and determine if an ENDOTOXIN Test is necessary.
