Best Answer

An LAL test is a test used to check products for gram-negative bacteria. It is made up of separated and freeze-dried horseshoe crab blood cells. If a liquid is mixed with the test in a vile and then let sit, the thickness of the contents after about half an hour can determine whether the liquid had the nasty bacteria. If the liquid has turned to a milky white jello-like substance, it has the bacteria. If it is still watery, then the product you had tested is sanitary.
