Removing endotoxins is an important target in the pharmaceutical industry and in clinical practice. A filter introduced into an intravenous line prevents microbiological contamination, but to date no filters have retained bacterial endotoxins. In our study, we assayed a new-generation filter which is able to capture endotoxins from solutions.
