XpressMyco Master PCR Detection Kit

Product Description

The XpressMyco Master PCR Detection Kit is designed for the routine examination of cell cultures for mycoplasmas. With few pipetting steps for the PCR approach and analysis by means of gel electrophoresis, the procedure delivers results quickly, easily, and to a high level of sensitivity.

About a quarter of all animal cell cultures are contaminated with Mycoplasma/Mollicutes. The most commonly found strains in cell cultures with a total probability of 94% are: M. fermentans (47%), M.hyorhinis (19%), M. orale (10%), M. arginini (9%), A. laidlawii (6%) and M. hominis (3%). In addition, the following strains were found with lower probability: M. bovis, M. pneumoniae, M. salivarium and M.synoviae. All of these Mollicutes strains are detected by the XpressMyco PCR Master detection kit, in addition to a variety of other strains, see complete list of strains. The verification of the primer specificity was carried out by BLAST analysis.
