Mycoplasma Detection & Removal
Detect and Eliminate Mycoplasma Contamination from your Valuable Cell Culture Samples
One challenge in dealing with mammalian cell culture is an infection due to mycoplasma contamination. These simple bacteria can infect cell cultures and alter a variety of cellular characteristics and functionalities (metabolism, morphology, proliferation, etc.) often leading to experimental artifacts and cell loss. It is essential to detect the presence of mycoplasma in cell cultures and remove it effectively, without compromising cell viability. MP Bio is pleased to provide our highly recognized kits with over 550 citations for high sensitivity detection of mycoplasma: the Myco-Sniff Mycoplasma PCR Detection Kit, and Myco-Sniff-Valid Mycoplasma PCR Detection Kit. Both kits simplify testing and detection of mycoplasma contamination in cell cultures.
Myco-Out Mycoplasma Removal Spray
- Easy to Use: User-friendly, ready-to-use spray, eliminating the need for tedious methods like fumigation and alcohol wiping.
- Fast and Non-Toxic: The mycoplasma-specific peptide surfactant derived from Bacillus subtilis works in just 5 – 10 minutes without harming cells.
- Highly Effective: Efficacy studies confirm its effectiveness in removing Mycoplasma from surfaces like laminar flow cabinets coated with Mycoplasma-positive HeLa cell culture.
- Broad Antimicrobial Spectrum: It eliminates Mycoplasma and inactivates various microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungal spores.
Myco-Visible Mycoplasma LAMP Detection Kit
No Special Instrument Required: Direct detection with just a dry bath
Rapid and Comprehensive: Detects Mycoplasma spp in 45 minutes
Sensitive: Requires as little as 10 16s rRNA copies or 10 fg of Mycoplasma genomic DNA per reaction
Easy to use: Innovative colorimetric detection system - vivid color change.

Gentamicin sulfate, 50 mg/mL
Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic complex that inhibits the growth of a wide variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms, including strains resistant to tetracycline, chloramphenicol, kanamycin, and colistin, particularly strains of Pseudomonas, Proteus, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus. It is effective against mycoplasma as well.
