ABSTRACT:
A modified limulus test procedure is provided to measure the lipopolysaccharide (LPS), lipid A, and/or glucan reactivity in a biological liquid. The test procedure is independent of the anti-limulus factors present in the sample. The procedure involves strong oxidative treatment of the biological liquid sample.
