Endotoxins consist of a core polysaccharide chain, O-specific polysaccharide side chains (O-antigen) and a lipid component, Lipid A, which is responsible for the toxic effects (see figure). Endotoxins are approximately 10 kDa in size, but readily form large aggregates up to 1000 kDa.ater is perhaps the greatest source of endotoxin contamination in the laboratory. High purity water is absolutely essential. While distillation and deionizing columns do not remove endotoxin, special columns or filtering systems have been shown to be effective.
