Product Description

The Pyrosate kit offers some unique advantages over standard LAL gel-glot testing methods. The assay does not require special training or laboratory supplies. The step-by-step illustrated instructions allow the user to perform assays within minutes. The Pyrosate kit provides rapid results and is especially convenient for testing water and dialysate as no dilutions are required.

Product Sensitivity

The Pyrosate kit is available in two sensitivities: 0.25 EU/mL and 1.0 EU/mL. These sensitivities can be achieved in less than 30 minutes, much less time than required for other gel-clot assays.

Test Performance

The Pyrosate kit is the only rapid gel-clot test that contains a 2λ** endotoxin tube (PPC) matched to the sample (SPL) tube for each sensitivity. This feature is unique to the Pyrosate assay and ensures the validity of the test. The endotoxin tube (PPC) assures that the sample does not interfere with the test, ruling out false negatives. Pyrosate is formulated to eliminate false positives due to (1→3)-β-D-glucans. This endotoxin specific reagent does not require additional blocking buffers.

Product Stability

Testing has demonstrated that the Pyrosate LAL reagent is stable at room temperature. This is an LAL product that does not require refrigeration for shipping or storage.

Product Packaging

The Pyrosate kit is available in two formats for each sensitivity, a 10 test kit and a 25 test bulk package. Each kit contains sample test tubes (SPL) and endotoxin test tubes (Positive Product Control-PPC).
