What Does EU Stand For?
EU stands for Endotoxin Unit
EU, or Endotoxin Unit, is a measurement standard used to quantify the presence of endotoxins, which are toxic substances found in the outer membrane of certain bacteria. Endotoxin Units are essential in pharmaceutical and medical device industries to assess product safety and ensure compliance with regulatory guidelines. Typically, one Endotoxin Unit is defined as the amount of endotoxin capable of inducing a specified biological response, serving as a critical parameter in biocompatibility testing and quality control processes.
