A new LAL plate reader at Quality Assistance!

10th June 2021

WHAT IS THE LAL PLATE READER USED FOR AT QUALITY ASSISTANCE?

Lonza’s LAL plate reader is used for Bacterial endotoxin testing since it is operated in Quality Assistance’s fully GMP compliant environment.

This technology uses the LAL (=Limulus Amebocyte Lysate) reagent formulated from specialised blood cells of Atlantic horseshoe crabs. Amebocytes form the crab’s primitive immune system and defensively clot when they encounter endotoxins. The LAL reagent takes advantage of this clotting response to produce a BET assay that is reliable, sensitive and specific.
