Introduction

™ rFC Endotoxin Test Kit (Recombinant Factor C Fluorometric Assay) uses gene recombination technique to express the serine protease catalytic cascade protein Factor C which reacts with endotoxin in Tachypleus Amebocyte in eukaryotic cells.  After binding with endotoxin, recombinant Factor C is transformed from inactive proteasogen to bioactive protease, which recognizes and catalyzes the downstream Fluorometric substrate to produce Fluorometric signals. The intensity of fluorescence signal is positively correlated with the concentration of endotoxin, so endotoxin can be detected quantitatively. The recombinant Factor C endotoxin test does not use natural horseshoe crab amebocyte, which protects horseshoe crab resources. It is a new generation of endotoxin test technology.
