Additional Information

Mycoplasma PCR Detection Kit (Cat. No. G238) offers highly specific and sensitive detection of 200+ strains of Mycoplasmas in less than 2 hours. This bestselling kit is designed to minimize false positives, ensuring quick and reliable routine screening of cell cultures. A recent official publication by a national public health agency found that our kit out-performs Sigma and Lonza's kits while being 6X less expensive than ATCC's kit (Russell et al., 2020).

Mycoplasmas are highly undesirable, easily acquired, and notoriously difficult to detect, altering infected cells at the molecular level and leading to visible changes in cell morphology and growth characteristics. Timely detection of Mycoplasmas in cell cultures is recommended in order to deter wide-spread contamination and save on the costly efforts of elimination. Our proprietary MasterMix formulation contains a gel loading dye, making it convenient for gel electrophoresis.
