IDEXX RADIL's Mycoplasma Assay Detects Species Not Detected by Kits
June 10, 2012
As any researcher cultivating cells knows, Mycoplasma can be the bane of one's existence. Not only can the presence of Mycoplasma inhibit cell proliferation, an acute infection can also cause complete destruction of the cell culture.
At IDEXX RADIL, we have been testing biologicals for the presence of Mycoplasma for more than a decade.
Each sample is evaluated with two different primer sets, both designed with primers in conserved regions of the Mycoplasma genus genome. Because our primer sets are designed in regions of the genome that are highly conserved among Mycoplasma species, the assay detects all Mycoplasmas that have been reported to infect cell cultures as well as many other mycoplasmas.
