Description |
Enjoy superior performance at lower costs! abm's Mycoplasma PCR Detection Kit & Elimination Combo Kit combines the power of our bestselling kit Mycoplasma PCR Detection Kit (Cat. No. G238) and MycoAway™ Mycoplasma Elimination Cocktail (1000X) (Cat. No. G398). The Mycoplasma PCR Detection Kit 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). Furthermore, the MycoAway™ Mycoplasma Elimination Cocktail (1000X) is a specially formulated agent to effectively clear cells from Mycoplasma contamination in both adherent and suspension cells. Our potent formulation is non-toxic and eliminates 70+ species of Mycoplasma in as little as 2-3 weeks (4-6 cell passages)! The combination of these two kits ensures complete protection of your cell lines! |

FAQs
What is the basis of the positive control in the mycoplasma kit? | |
It is DNA fragments of Mycoplasma gDNA diluted in medium.
|
There is a ~200-250bp band in one of my samples, does this mean it is mycoplasma positive? | |
In rare cases, there may be a weak non-specific binding to a region of human gDNA due to the degenerate nature of the primers that can amplify a weak 250bp band in human cell samples. Your sample can be considered as negative for mycoplasma, as mycoplasma amplicons will be 370-550bp in size. You can try to increase the annealing temperature of the PCR program to 60°C to reduce this non-specific amplification.
