A wholly
owned subsidiary of Seikagaku Corporation, the Company pioneered the
use of Horseshoe Crab blood extract, Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL),
used in the testing of pharmaceuticals, medical devices and biologics,
for the presence of potentially toxic endotoxins and glucans. Limulus amebocyte lysate was
supplied by BioWhittaker (Walkersville, MD), and control standard
endotoxin was obtained from Associates of Cape Cod (East Falmouth, MA). Endotoxin on the filters was quantified using a
Limulus amebocyte lysate (IAL) assay (Bio-Whittaker, Walkersville, MD),
and the concentration in endotoxin units (EU) was calculated (EU per
milliliter). |
