Managing Endotoxins - Detect, Prevent, Remove

Endotoxins are heat-stable lipopolysaccharides (LPS) found in the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria. These molecules are released in significant quantities not only when bacterial cells die but also during active growth and division. Because endotoxins are pyrogenic—meaning they can induce fever and other serious immune responses in mammals—their presence in pharmaceutical products poses a critical safety risk. Therefore, controlling endotoxin levels in drug formulations is essential to ensure patient safety and regulatory compliance.

To address this important issue, this webinar will explore key aspects of endotoxin management in pharmaceutical manufacturing. You’ll gain insights into common sources of endotoxin contamination throughout the production process, and discover ecologically sustainable detection methods that eliminate the need for animal testing.
