E-Myco Plus PCR Detection kit

Detect Mycoplasma in cell culture. All the components arrive in a vacuum dried Premix tube. This helps to avoid hydration and oxidation. All you need to do is add your sample. This kit allows you detect 209 species with the sensitivity of 20 CFU/ml.

Mycoplasma is a genus of bacteria which lack a cell wall. Without a cell wall, they are unaffected by penicillin or other antibiotics that target cell wall synthesis. Physically very small (< 1 micron), Mycoplasma are difficult to detect with a conventional microscope or neutralize with common antibiotics. As a result these robust bugs are often found in research laboratories as contaminants in cell culture. Reports indicate that 1/3 or more of all cell cultures are contaminated. Unfortunately, such contamination may induce cellular changes, including chromosome aberrations, changes in metabolism and cell growth. Moreover, severe Mycoplasma infections may destroy a cell line. Testing for mycoplasma is an essential quality control tool to assure accurate research and reliable biotech products.

FOR ENHANCED SENSITIVITY

Try the NEW e-Myco VALiD Kit! E-Myco VALiD PCR Detection Kits have been shown to be a highly sensitive, specific and rapid method for the detection of Mycoplasmas contamination in cell cultures. These kits can identify the five most common cell culture-infecting species of Mycoplasma all the way down to 10 CFU/ml
