Sterility: mycoplasma detection

Mycoplasma contamination can quickly develop in a lab, creating havoc. To make matters worse, it can take months to get rid of it.

Culture contamination needs to be taken seriously, as it can impact the viability of your research work. It can create chromosomal aberrations, inhibit cell proliferation and metabolism, cause changes in gene expression profiles and even lead to cell death.

Traditional detection methods can be time consuming. Mycoplasma cannot be detected by standard microscopic methods. Consequently, alternative solutions are available.
