Product Description
Mycoplasma, the smallest and simplest prokaryotes, can alter cellular DNA, RNA, and protein expression, leading to slow cell growth and morphological changes, which severely impact experimental results. If cells are contaminated with Mycoplasma, it is recommended to discard them after autoclaving. However, for valuable contaminated cells, Mycoplasma elimination reagents can be used.
The key components of this product are two different antibiotics, both of which inhibit protein synthesis. Alternating the use of these antibiotics effectively reduces the development of resistance. This product suppresses and eliminates various Mycoplasma species, including Mycoplasma orale, M. arginini, M. hyorhinis, and Acholeplasma laidlawii, without affecting cell health, thereby saving valuable contaminated cells.
