Mycoplasma Detection
Mycoplasmas are potential contaminants in mammalian cell culture manufacturing. To ensure product quality, regulatory agencies recommend that all products produced in cell culture be tested for the presence of Mycoplasma.
MycoSEQ® Mycoplasma Detection System
However, detecting these contaminants is difficult, sometimes impossible, when using traditional microbiological techniques. The current Mycoplasma test is a 28-day culture test. In 2007, the European Pharmacopeia accepted nucleic acid tests, such as real-time PCR, as an alternative method for traditional Mycoplasma detection after validation.
Detect Mycoplasma in Hours, Not Days. It's About Time.
The MycoSEQ® Mycoplasma Detection System integrates real-time PCR assays, instruments, and software with optimized PrepSEQ® sample preparation reagents—delivering results in hours, not days. This enables you to test at multiple points in cell lines, cell banks, and harvest media, increasing your productivity and reducing risk of downstream contamination.
The MycoSEQ® Mycoplasma Detection System’s easy workflow delivers actionable results in less than 4 hours—enabling you to detect contamination as early as possible in process development, equipment, raw materials, and finished product.
