Endotoxin Testing by Recombination Factor C (rFC) Assay

Mechanism of rFC

Recombination factor C detection (rFC) detection is an evolutionary version of LAL/TAL detection developed by combining recombination techniques with the LAL/TAL mechanism of action. Recombination factor C is activated by endotoxin to cleave the fluorescent substrate, and the presence or absence and intensity of the fluorescent signal are used to determine the presence or absence of endotoxin.[1]

The mechanism of rCF is as follows:

Endotoxin Testing by Recombination Factor C (rFC) Assay

Method of rFC

The recombination factor C in the rFC assay is activated by endotoxin, followed by direct cleavage of the artificially added fluorescent substrate to form a fluorescent product. Finally, we determine the amount of endotoxin by detecting fluorescence.

Advantages of rFC

Compared to the multi-step enzymatic process required for LAL/TAL assays, the rFC assay works by a single enzymatic step, which is faster and easier. Moreover,
