LPS (Lipopolysaccharides) ELISA Kit (UNFI0091)

Bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) levels in research specimens can be quantitatively measured using this competitive ELISA kit from Assay Genie, providing absorbance-based read-outs on a standard microplate reader. LPS, a structural component of the Gram-negative bacterial outer membrane, drives potent inflammatory signaling through Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and is widely studied in sepsis, endotoxemia, intestinal barrier dysfunction, microbiome research, and pharmaceutical contamination testing.

Each kit provides reagents sufficient for 96 individual determinations, with an absorbance-based photometric read-out compatible with standard laboratory ELISA workflow infrastructure. The assay is validated for blood-derived specimen matrices, including serum-type and plasma-type preparations, supporting translational research into systemic inflammatory responses and microbial translocation studies.

The competitive format is well-suited for detecting low-molecular-weight analytes and endotoxin moieties, and components are supplied ready-to-use with a complete buffer and standard set. Researchers in academic, clinical, and pharmaceutical laboratories rely on this format for batch screening of large sample cohorts, and the kit can be paired with downstream cell-based validation assays for confirmation of biological activity. All reagents are intended for research use only and should be handled according to the supplied protocol insert.
