Sterility: mycoplasma detection

Confidently detect mycoplasma in any cell culture with Myco-digital

Mycoplasma contamination can quickly develop in a lab, wreaking 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.

Avoid false positives

Digital PCR effectively reduces false positives by partitioning samples into numerous reactions, utilizing probe-based chemistry to enhance specificity and ensure precise nucleic acid analysis with reliable results.

Stem Genomics has designed Myco-digital, its own digital PCR-based mycoplasma detection assay, to meet your needs. Highly sensitive, Myco-digital allows you to meet the recommended regulatory guidance of 10 CFU/mL for 60 mycoplasma species, including the 6 species responsible for 90-95% of cell culture infections.

It has been specifically designed to target the conserved 16S ribosomal RNA coding region of the mycoplasma genome.
