The Endosafe
®
- PTS (Portable Test System) is a rapid,
point-of-use test system which is comprised of a test
cartridge along with a hand-held spectrophotometer.
The Endosafe
®
- PTS Endotoxin test utilizes existing
FDA-licensed LAL formulations. The PTS provides
quantitative LAL test results in approximately 15
minutes (see Appendix A for testing procedures and
test results).
The Endosafe
®
- PTS Rapid Micro Methods are cartridges designed to accelerate a wide
range of quality control test methodologies. New assays are currently in development
and will be available as we adapt them to the PTS format.
x
The Rapid Micro Methods Gram ID assay is an alternative to conventional
gram stain methods for identification of microorganisms in approximately
3 to 7 minutes (see Appendix B for testing procedure and test results).
