Injectable drugs are tested for endotoxins by?
performing a Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) test, which detects the presence of endotoxins in the drug product. This test involves lysing amebocyte cells found in the blood of horseshoe crabs, which then interact with endotoxins to produce a gel clot formation, indicating the presence of endotoxins. The LAL test is a sensitive and specific method for ensuring that injectable drugs are free from harmful endotoxins that could cause adverse reactions in patients.
