The Endosafe nexgen-PTS (Model PTS150) by Charles River is a rapid, point-of-use handheld spectrophotometer designed for accurate, convenient, and real-time bacterial endotoxin testing, glucan concentration determination, and Gram identification. Supporting both Endosafe LAL and Trillium recombinant cascade reagent (rCR) cartridges, it is ideal for small to mid-size pharmaceutical companies, compounding pharmacies, and QC laboratories requiring a portable, real-time testing solution directly on the manufacturing floor or at the point of sample collection.

The nexgen-PTS exponentially elevates assay efficiency with dramatically faster run times than traditional LAL methods, streamlined data entry, and reduced user variability. Its embedded operating system, enhanced sensing optics, colour touchscreen, barcode scanner, Wi-Fi connectivity, and 8 GB internal storage make it one of the most capable handheld endotoxin testing platforms available. The system is 21 CFR Part 11 compliant-ready, featuring three password-protected user management levels (administrator, manager, and user), secure logins, and full audit trails. Results can be wirelessly downloaded to a central PC or integrated with Charles River Cortex data management software for secure consolidation and trending.

Key Features:
• Rapid quantitative LAL endotoxin results in approximately 15 minutes
• USP/EP BET-compliant (Ph.Eur./USP and JP kinetic chromogenic LAL method)
• FDA-licensed disposable cartridges — pre-loaded with all test components
• Gram ID capability: results in approximately 3–7 minutes
• No microbiology training required
• Wi-Fi connectivity for wireless data transfer
• 8 GB internal storage for thousands of test reports
• 21 CFR Part 11 compliant-ready user management
