Endotoxin testing

Endotoxin testing is a critical quality control procedure used in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries to detect and quantify endotoxins—lipopolysaccharides (LPS) found in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Endotoxins can cause severe immune responses, including fever, sepsis, or toxic shock, if introduced into the human body through injectable drugs, vaccines, or implantable medical devices.
