A novel, fast, and sensitive ME method was developed to analyze and differentiate the smooth ( S ) and rough ( R ) type bacterial endotoxin components labeled covalently with a fluorescent dye. The quantitative analysis of purified lipopolysaccharides, or partially purified samples from whole‐cell lysates becomes possible with this method. Two groups with three sub‐groups in the first group of S ‐type lipopolysaccharides can be classified based on the electrophoretic profiles. The LOD of the endotoxins from S ‐ and R ‐type G ram‐negative bacteria was found to be 2.6 ng and 6.9 ng, respectively. This method is capable to replace the commonly used SDS ‐ PAGE combined with silver staining.
