Endotoxin Control Across the Antibody Manufacturing Workflow

Production of antibody therapeutics requires endotoxin control at multiple stages—not just final release. From upstream processing to final quality control (QC), each step introduces different risks, sample types, and testing challenges. The FUJIFILM Biosciences pyrogen and sterility testing portfolio is designed to support each stage for consistent, scalable, and compliant control throughout the entire workflow. 

What Matters

Upstream and Process Development

Detect early — Identify endotoxin contamination in raw materials and upstream processes before it impacts production.

Detect early — Identify endotoxin contamination in raw materials and upstream processes before it impacts production.

  • Early detection
  • High-quality cell culture media and raw materials
  • Reliable results for complex or variable matrices 
Downstream Processing and In-process Control 

Monitor throughout — Verify endotoxin control across purification and manufacturing with reliable in-process testing.

How We Help

PYROSTAR Neo+PYROSTAR Neo+

PYROSTAR Neo+

As regulatory expectations evolve toward animal-free testing, PYROSTAR Neo+ provides a recombinant endotoxin detection option compatible with microplate workflows and aligned with USP <86> Bacterial Endotoxin Testing Using Recombinant Reagents. PYROSTAR Neo+ can serve as a forward-looking alternative or bridging method alongside established LAL testing strategies.

  • Highly sensitive detection (down to 0.001 EU/mL)
  • Reduced lot-to-lot variability for consistent development data
  • Supports transition toward recombinant, animal-free testing (<86>)

PYROSTAR ES-F/Plate

PYROSTAR ES-F/Plate supports reliable, efficient testing of high sample volumes in antibody production. Unlike conventional LAL reagents that may cross-react with (1→3)-β-D-glucan, its endotoxin-specific detection helps reduce false positives and streamline BET workflows in QC laboratories.

  • Enables high-throughput endotoxin testing
  • Supports parallel processing of multiple QC samples
  • Provides trusted compendial alignment

CMD αBET System

The αBET Rapid Endotoxin Detection System supports rapid, in-process, and point of use testing for complex materials. The αBET system utilizes a cartridge-based testing methodology, allowing for small volumes to be tested with quantitative results in less than 30 minutes.

  • Enables rapid results for low sample volumes with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance and quantitative reports in less than 30 minutes
  • Near-infrared detection wavelength is able to overcome common interferences from complex samples
  • Portable and lightweight for point of use testing at any stage of development
