Product Details
Key Features of Pyrochrome Chromogenic LAL Reagent
- Maximum Sensitivity: Pyrochrome® achieves a maximum sensitivity of 0.001 EU/mL when run in a Pyros Kinetix® Flex tube reader or in an incubating microplate reader when used with Glucashield® Buffer, making it one of the most sensitive chromogenic LAL reagents on the market. This level of sensitivity is crucial for detecting low levels of endotoxins in highly diluted samples or in products with stringent endotoxin limits.
- Flexible Testing Ratios: Pyrochrome® can be used with the Pyros Kinetix® Flex tube reader at either a 1:1 or an economical 4:1 sample-to-lysate ratio, allowing for cost-effective testing without compromising sensitivity.
- Adaptable for Various Assay Formats: This chromogenic reagent is suitable for both kinetic (predominant format) and endpoint assays (used primarily in research). The diazo method option is available for testing samples with color interference, shifting the absorption spectrum and improving test accuracy.
- Highly Cost Effective: Pyrochrome® is designed to be a cost-effective solution for endotoxin testing, offering high sensitivity and reliable performance at an economical price point.
Assay Sensitivity and Performance
The sensitivity of chromogenic assays is determined by the lowest standard concentration on the standard curve used for the assay. The maximum sensitivity of Pyrochrome® is 0.001 EU/mL when run in a Pyros Kinetix® Flex tube reader or incubated microplate reader with Glucashield® Buffer.
Sample-to-Lysate Ratios
In the Pyros Kinetix® Flex tube reader, Pyrochrome® can be used at an economical ratio of 4:1 using 50 µL of reagent per well or 1:1 using 100 µL/well. When used in a microplate reader, the reagent is used at a ratio of 1:1 and a volume of 50 µL/well (60 tests/vial) or 100 µL/well (30 tests/vial).
Test Performance
Per validated conditions, the Pyrochrome®/sample mixture should be incubated at 37±1°C and read using a microplate reader equipped with a 405–410 nm filter. The incubation time depends on the lowest standard concentration and the lot number of the reagent. Software is used to construct the standard curve and calculate the endotoxin concentrations.
Product Stability
Once reconstituted, Pyrochrome® is stable for 8 hours when stored at 2–8ºC.
Reconstitution
Pyrochrome® lysate is reconstituted with an optimized Pyrochome® reconstitution buffer (C1500). Pyrochrome® can also be reconstituted with Glucashield® buffer, a (1→3)- β-D-glucan inhibiting buffer, to render the assay endotoxin specific (CG1500).
Ordering Information
Pyrochrome® is offered with a choice of reconstitution buffer and is recommended for use with the 10 ng/vial Control Standard Endotoxin (CSE, EC010). Certificates of Analysis, specific to the Pyrochrome® and CSE lot, can be obtained from ACC or on our website.
