Whitepaper: Analytical criteria in bacterial endotoxin testing using LAL and rFC
This article covers the analytical criteria that apply to Bacterial Endotoxin Testing (BET) using Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) or recombinant Horseshoe crab Factor C (rFC) for the bioactivity determination of endotoxin in aqueous solutions, such as pharmaceuticals and medical device extracts. It explains the importance of these criteria for accurate…

Practical considerations in analysing biologically active peptides by Electrospray Ionisation (ESI) Mass Spectrometry
22 October 2013 | By Birthe V. Nielsen, Faculty of Engineering and Science, University of Greenwich
Neuromodulators such as calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) act as biomarkers for pain assessment (pre-clinical). These markers can be detected at low concentrations by Electrospray Ionisation (ESI) Mass Spectrometry (MS). Currently, little is known about the factors affecting responsiveness in the ESI process though the response…
