The Charles River Endosafe nexgen-PTS is a rapid, point-of-use handheld spectrophotometer that uses USP/BET-compliant disposable cartridges for accurate, convenient, and real-time endotoxin testing, glucan concentration determination, and Gram identification. Supporting both Endosafe LAL and Trillium recombinant cascade reagent (rCR) cartridges, it provides accurate and effortless endotoxin detection. Its compact and lightweight design makes it ideal for small to mid-size pharmaceutical companies and compounding pharmacies requiring fast, simple testing at the point of manufacture or in the QC lab.
