CSE is a stable, preparation of endotoxin that can be used in all LAL testing
CSE is especially useful for depyrogenation studies
Certificates of Analysis for each CSE-lysate lot pairing gives a potency that is specific to the unique lot combination
CSE can be reconstituted to achieve specific endotoxin concentrations
It is a purified extract of E. coli O113:H10, the same strain used for the United States Pharmacopeia and the European Pharmacopeia reference standard endotoxin (RSE)
CSEs are standardized against the RSE as indicated on the Certificate of Analysis, so that results can be reported in Endotoxin Units (EU) and International Units (IU).
A 10 ng/vial CSE is made specifically for use with our Pyrochrome® chromogenic reagent.
Note: LAL Reagent lot must be compatible with CSE (Control Standard Endotoxin) Lot. Please inquire at time of order.
