Product Description

Mycoplasma is a group of the smallest and simplest prokaryotic organisms. Mycoplasma infection alters the DNA, RNA, and protein expression of cells, leading to slow cell growth rates, morphological changes, and other pathological alterations, which significantly affect experimental results. Detection and prevention of Mycoplasma contamination is an essential step in cell experiments. This kit works by amplifying the conserved region of the Mycoplasma genome using specific primers. After PCR amplification, the presence of Mycoplasma contamination can be confirmed through electrophoresis. This method is characterized by high sensitivity, strong specificity, and rapid detection.

FAQ

Can the kit detect Mycoplasma in reagents?
The kit can detect Mycoplasma in common cell culture reagents, such as media and serum, without the need for sample preparation. Simply proceed directly to PCR reaction and gel loading. However, the kit cannot detect Mycoplasma in organic solvents like DMSO or ethanol.
Bands appear in the negative control
Use a freshly opened negative control for retesting. Ensure to change pipette tips during sample loading and prioritize loading the negative control first to avoid cross-contamination between samples.
Inconsistent results with repeated testing
PCR detection of Mycoplasma is highly sensitive, so avoid cross-contamination between samples. Ensure sterile conditions when handling each sample individually. After sample processing and PCR reaction, allow samples to cool before proceeding to the next step to avoid aerosol contamination.
