PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simple instrument for measuring the concentration of endotoxin that is simpler in mechanism than a conventional expensive device for measuring the concentration of endotoxin, that is low in cost, simple for even a novice to perform a measuring operation with, that is small and light-weight as to be moved to any measuring location, and that can be operated in a simple manner to measure the concentration of endotoxin of a specimen fluid online on site at a hospital, or the like, without causing cross-contamination. SOLUTION: A simple instrument for measuring the concentration of endotoxin, contained in a specimen, includes an endotoxin concentration measuring cell (A) comprising a means (a) for collecting a specimen by puncturing a specimen collection site; a portion (b) through which transmitted light passes, and a coupling means (c) for coupling the means (a) to the portion (b); and transmission light intensity measuring means (B) that is mounted at a predetermined position in the portion (b).
