Zusammenfassung:The present invention is related to a method of detecting an endotoxin in a sample using a chromogenic assay, the method comprising: (a) contacting the sample with a reagent comprising limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) and a chromogenic substrate; and (b) measuring a chromogenic effect resulting from a change in the chromogenic substrate in the presence of endotoxin in the sample; wherein the LAL issubstantially free of coagulogen. The method also relates to compositions and kits comprising LAL substantially free of coagulogen, and methods of making such. 本发明涉及使用显色测定法检测样品中内毒素的方法,该方法包括:(a)使样品与包含鲎阿米巴样细胞溶解物(LAL)和显色底物的试剂接触;(b)测量在样品中存在内毒素时由显色底物的变化引起的显色效应;其中LAL基本上不含凝固蛋白原。该方法还涉及包含基本上不含凝固蛋白原的LAL的组合物和试剂盒,以及制备它们的方法。
