    Keep Your Method. Make An Impact, With Our New Recombinant Reagent!

    PyroSmart NextGen™ recombinant Cascade Reagent (rCR) marks the introduction of a new sustainable recombinant LAL reagent technology for Bacterial Endotoxin Testing (BET). Utilizing the same LAL cascade as traditional LAL reagents, while eliminating the potential for 1,3-β-D-glucans cross reactivity, PyroSmart NextGen™ delivers all of the quality and consistency of results you have come to expect from ACC LAL reagents.

    PyroSmart NextGen™ can be used for a wide variety of endotoxin tests, ranging from standard water testing to samples requiring high sensitivity, such as intrathecal products and those requiring high dilutions to overcome interference.

    Product Sensitivity

    The sensitivity for recombinant chromogenic assays is determined by the lowest standard concentration on the standard curve used for the assay. The maximum sensitivity of PyroSmart NextGen™ is 0.005 EU/mL when run in an incubating microplate reader (or 0.001 EU/mL when run in Pyros Kinetix Flex tube reader).

    Sample to Lysate Ratio

    PyroSmart NextGen™ is used at with an economical volume of 50 µL of reagent per well yielding 50 tests/vial:

    • Microplate reader: 1:1 ratio using 50 µL of test sample : 50 µL of reagent
