4: A Comparative Analysis of Absorbance-Based Endotoxin Testing Using Different Microplate Readers

With the planned obsolescence of ELx808™ Microplate Reader, commonly used for endotoxin testing, it is imperative for QC laboratories to find, evaluate, and implement a new reader for their normal operations. The aim of this study is to compare the performance of two Absorbance Plate Readers for their ability to measure absorbance-based endotoxin levels accurately and reliably.
This poster will clearly indicate the similarities and differences in key performance parameters such as accuracy, variability, reaction time, etc. between readers. The goal is to provide a big picture regarding reader performance when running both turbidimetric and chromogenic assays. The results may be particularly useful for laboratories seeking to replace their current microplate readers or for those interested in optimizing their endotoxin testing protocols.
