The yield of Limulus amoebocyte lysate (LAL), which is used for endotoxin detection and adjunct diagnosis of invasive fungal infection, was optimized with caffeine collection buffer
Caffeine collection buffer prevents amoebocyte degranulation during blood collection and processing. The activity of caffeine LAL is much greater. Caffeine LAL works in both chromogenic tests and turbidimetric assays.
