What is HORSESHOE CRAB BLOOD?
HORSESHOE CRAB BLOOD provides a valuable medical product critical to maintaining the safety of many drugs and devices used in medical care. A protein in the blood called Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) is used by pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers to test their products for the presence of endotoxins, bacterial substances that can cause fevers and even be fatal to humans.
Why is the Horseshoe Crab the original “blue blood”?
A horseshoe crab’s blood has a blue to blue-green color when exposed to the air. The blood is blue because it contains a copper-based respiratory pigment called hemocyanin.
Why is it valuable?
HORSESHOE CRAB BLOOD is blue in colour, due to the presence of copper. But that’s not why it’s valuable. It’s valuable because it contains an “amebocyte” used in the field of biomedics to identify bacterial contamination in vaccines and all injectable drugs.
The “amebocyte”, a mobile cell found in the blood of invertebrates. Similar to a white blood cell in vertebrates, amebocytes defend against pathogens or germs and bacteria. The amebocyte found in the blood of horseshoe crabs is used to make something called “limulus amebocyte lysate” or LAL.
A small amount of LAL is deposited into a vaccine or drug. If it is contaminated, LAL will find the bacteria and surround it in a jelly-like seal. It doesn’t kill the bacteria, but it visibly alerts testers to the infection before it is released for human consumption. It’s incredibly accurate, and only a tiny quantity of LAL is needed.
LAL is the only way to test a vaccine or medical tool for bacteria like E. coli. HORSESHOE CRAB was approved for medical use in 1970. Before that, vaccines were tested on animals. Huge numbers of rabbits would be injected with vaccines and monitored for adverse reactions.You can order Etorphine liquid also.
