Mycoplasma Detection

Mycoplasma contamination of cell lines is one of the major problems in cell culturing and cell culture maintenance. Specific, sensitive, and reliable detection of mycoplasma contamination is an important part of mycoplasma control. New cell lines as well as cell lines in continuous culture must be tested at regular intervals.

We use PCR methodology over traditional culture-based methods to deliver a fast and sensitive technique to detect mycoplasma contamination. The technique can also identify mycoplasma down to the species level if requested (additional time and costs).
