Choosing A Mycoplasma Detection Strategy

Mycoplasma contamination poses a significant challenge in biopharmaceutical settings, impacting cell culture quality and increasing costs. While traditional detection methods like direct cell culture are time-consuming and qPCR can lead to high false-positive rates, a more efficient and reliable solution exists. Digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) offers a rapid and accurate alternative.

This video explores a ddPCR-based kit designed to detect mycoplasma contamination quickly and precisely. It achieves a low limit of detection of 1 CFU/mL and utilizes probe-based chemistry to minimize false positives. Additionally, the kit is capable of detecting 112 mycoplasma species and meets the stringent requirements of European, U.S., and Japanese pharmacopoeias. Watch the video to learn more about how this solution can help you maintain confidence in your testing and keep your lab operations running smoothly.
