PCR Mycoplasma Detection Kit

Principle of the Assay: The Mycoplasma PCR Detection Kit offers high specificity and sensitivity to minimize false positives while ensuring coverage over 200 strains of Mycoplasmas for quick and reliable routine screening of cell cultures less than 1 hour. Mycoplasmas are highly undesirable, easily acquired and notorious for an elusive onset of infection. It can alter the infected cells at a molecular level 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. The MasterMix contains gel loading dye, making it convenient to load for gel electrophoresis.

Small volumes of PCR kit vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS8580111 is a kit targeting PCR. Also known as PCR Mycoplasma Detection Kit.
