The present invention is related to compositions comprising clarified limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL), wherein the LAL is substantially free of coagulogen and methods of making such compositions. The invention further relates to a method of detecting an endotoxin in a sample using a chromogenic assay, the method comprising: (a) contacting the sample with a reagent comprising clarified LAL and a chromogenic substrate; and (b) measuring a chromogenic effect resulting from a change in the chromogenic substrate in the presence of endotoxin in the sample, wherein the LAL is substantially free of coagulogen. The invention also relates to kits comprising clarified LAL substantially free of coagulogen, and methods of making such.
