HEK-Blue LPS Detection Kit

Product name:HEK-Blue LPS Detection Kit

Product description:The HEK-Blue LPS Detection Kit is based on the ability of TLR4 to recognize structurally different LPS from gram-negative bacteria and in particular lipid A, their toxic moiety. Proprietary cells engineered to become extremely sensitive to LPS, called HEK-Blue-4 cells, are the main feature of this endotoxin detection kit. The presence of very low concentrations of LPS, starting as low as 0.03 ng/ml, are detected by the HEK-Blue-4 cells leading to the activation of NF-κB. Using HEK-Blue Detection, a specific detection medium, NF-κB activation can be observed with the naked eye or quantified by reading the OD at 650 nm.
