Introduction Bacterial Endotoxin Testing (BET) is one of the most sensitive quality control procedures performed in pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device laboratories. Because endotoxin testing is designed to detect extremely low levels of bacterial endotoxins, even minor contamination can affect results and lead to unnecessary investigations, repeat testing and operational delays. While validated methods and…

While much attention is given to microbial contamination, another significant risk that quality control laboratories must manage is the presence of bacterial endotoxins. Even at extremely low concentrations, endotoxins can cause serious adverse reactions in patients. This is why pharmaceutical manufacturers, biotechnology companies and medical device…
