Abstract
A Limulus amoebocyte lysate microtechnique performed in petrolatum wells on a microscope slide is described. Injection of a dye solution in ethanol directly into the wells leads to an unambiguous interpretation of the results. Twelve samples can be tested on a single slide, and compact storing of the samples is possible.
