It is a misconception that chromogenic LAL is better than turbidimetric LAL. Chromogenic LAL became popular because its high sensitivity (.005 EU/ml) and 1:1 product to lysate ratio allows users to dilute further to overcome inhibition. Recent innovations by Endosafe have produced a turbidimetric lysate with the properties of a chromogenic reagent with a turbidimetric price.
