Horseshoe Crab Blood: A Blue Treasure
Horseshoe crab blood is a unique substance that has proven invaluable to the medical industry. Unlike human blood, which is red due to iron-rich hemoglobin, horseshoe crab blood is a vibrant blue color thanks to a copper-based pigment called hemocyanin.

The most remarkable aspect of horseshoe crab blood is its ability to detect and clot in response to bacterial endotoxins. These are harmful substances found in the outer membranes of bacteria. This sensitivity has made horseshoe crab blood a critical component in a test called the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) test.

The LAL test is used to detect bacterial contamination in medical devices, vaccines, and other injectable products. It's a crucial quality control measure to ensure the safety of these products. By mixing a sample with LAL reagent, which contains amebocytes from horseshoe crab blood, scientists can quickly determine if the product is contaminated.

Despite its importance, harvesting horseshoe crab blood is a delicate process. Animals are carefully collected, bled, and then released back into the wild. While this practice is closely monitored to minimize harm, concerns about their conservation status remain.
