Description
The Endosafe®-PTS™ Glucan Assay is a rapid, in-process test designed for investigational purposes to validate that your yeast-derived products are clear of (1,3)-ß-D glucans. These glucan molecules, found in the cell walls of most yeasts and molds, can induce inflammatory responses and contaminate cell culture fluid, yeast protein production, air quality samples, and cellulose filter preparations. Glucans are also known to cause false positive results in LAL assays, triggering investigations. The PTS™ Glucan Assay allows you to quickly and easily quantify these glucans, leading to better process monitoring and faster out-of-specification (OOS) resolutions. The glucan cartridges have a sensitivity range of 10-1,000 pg/mL, yield results in less than 30 minutes, and can be run on the same instrument used for PTS™ endotoxin detection.
