LAL and SLP reagents and related products for detection of microbial cell wall components
20 Mar 2025Ensuring medical devices and injectable pharmaceuticals are safe from bacteria is crucial for quality control and protecting human health. Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) and silkworm larval protein (SLP) tests are commonly performed to monitor bacterial contamination by detecting the presence of bacterial endotoxins. Explore the array of reagents and products available for conducting testing, and discover how to choose the correct reagent to obtain the highest accuracy possible.

MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.
