Endotoxin Detection
NEW
Ever since the pharmaceutical industry beganmanufacturing injectables, pyrogen detection testshave been an absolute necessity. Pyrogens aresubstances that can cause fever, shock and evendeath if high levels are introduced into a person’s body.
For most of the 20th Century, the Rabbit Pyrogen Testwas the standard method of testing for pyrogenicity.This test, which takes approximately four hours, isaccomplished by injecting the drug being analyzedinto a rabbit’s ear. If the animal develops a fever, itconfirms the presence of pyrogens.
The Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) test wascommercially introduced during the 1970’s. In a noticepublished in the Federal Register on November 4, 1977,the FDA described conditions for the use of LAL as anend-product test for endotoxin in human biologicalproducts and medical devices. The FDA noted, it iswidely recognized that the LAL test is faster, moreeconomical and requires a smaller volume of productthan does the rabbit pyrogen test. In addition, theprocedure is less labor intensive than the rabbit test,making it possible to perform many tests in a single day.
To obtain the lysate required for the LAL test,horseshoe crabs are taken from the ocean floor anda small amount of their blood is drawn. The animals
are then returned unharmed to the sea. Next, thecrabs’ blood cells (amebocytes) are separated andlysed to obtain the cellular proteins.
As LAL became the preferred pyrogen detection test, different methods were developed, each with its own unique benefits. For example, Gel Clot LAL(PYROGENT®) provides a simple positive/negativeresult and is often mentioned in most pharmacopoeialmonographs as the official referee test. ChromogenicEnd-Point LAL (QCL-1000®) offers a quantitative result and exhibits less product interference than LAL methods utilizing the clotting protein. KineticTurbidimetric (PYROGENT®-5000) gives quantitativeresults and for water and large volume parenterals, itoffers an economical choice. Kinetic ChromogenicLAL (Kinetic-QCL®) provides automation and greatersensitivity detecting as low as 0.005 EU/mL.
Currently the FDA, the United States Pharmacopoeia(USP), the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) and theJapanese Pharmacopoeia (JP) accept all of theabove LAL methods, as do most individual countrypharmacopoeias.
The latest development in endotoxin detectiontechnology is PyroGene®. This innovative product isa recombinant form of Factor C, the first componentin the Limulus clotting cascade. PyroGene promisesto reduce the dependence on animal-basedendotoxin assays.

Kinetic Assays
PyroGene Recombinant Factor C Endotoxin DetectionSystem represents another first from the endotoxindetection technology leader. Our scientists haveproduced a recombinant form of Factor C, the firstcomponent in the Limulus clotting cascade activatedby endotoxin. Once again, Cambrex leads the waywith evolutionary technology that promises to reducethe dependence on animal-based endotoxin assays.
Advantages of PyroGene:• Greater endotoxin specificity • Elimination of false positive
glucan reactions • Less lot-to-lot variability • No animal utilization
PyroGene represents a reliable, environmentallyfriendly alternative to LAL. We at Cambrex invite you to experience the PyroGene alternative.
Recombinant Factor C (rFC) is activated by endotoxinbinding, and the active moiety created then acts tocleave a synthetic substrate which results in thegeneration of a fluorogenic compound. The reaction is run in a 96-well microplate and measured at timezero and after a one-hour incubation in a fluorescentmicroplate reader using excitation/emissionwavelengths of 380/440 nm. The log net fluorescenceis proportional to the log endotoxin concentration and is linear in the 0.01 – 10 EU/mL range. Lot-to-lotstandard curves exhibit excellent reproducibility.
Similar endotoxin potency is detected in purifiedlipopolysaccharides using PyroGene®, Kinetic-QCL®
and PYROGENT®-5000 assays.
