Market Definition
The LAL (limulus amebocyte lysate) testing, also known as bacterial endotoxin testing, is a crucial component of pharmaceutical microbiology and is used to determine the presence and concentration of bacterial endotoxins in medicines and biological products. Lipopolysaccharides called endotoxins, a subclass of pyrogen, are found in the cell walls of gram-negative bacteria. Pyrogens are a group of compounds that raise the body temperature and can be dangerous or even lethal if delivered to people above a particular dose.
