Mycoplasmas are one of the most common contaminant present in cell culture. Because of there invisibility at microscopy and the changes they may cause on cultures, contaminations are very difficult to detect.

 

The detection of mycoplasmas represents an inescapable assay to ensure biosafety of cell banks, viral banks, intermediary and final products.

 

The methods of detection have been evolving deeply in the recent years. Clean Cells has developed several assays compliant with American and Europeans pharmacopoeias to detect mycoplasmas in your biological sample of animal or human origin, used for therapeutic applications (R&D grade, pre-clinical and clinical / regulatory).
