A technique which is less likely to be affected by turbid or color of samples and with which prompt and simple detection or concentration measurement of endotoxin can be achieved is provided. A reagent in which proteins contained in LAL are adsorbed or bound onto fine particles dispersed in a previously prepared drug liquid is prepared, and this reagent and a sample containing endotoxin are mixed. By doing this, endotoxin acts on the proteins on the fine particles and the fine particles are associated with one another to form a large aggregate at an early stage. By optically measuring the formation of this aggregate, detection or concentration measurement of endotoxin is performed. |
