Mycoplasma Detection and Removal Tools
Mycoplasma contamination is a major concern for cell culture work. These tiny, fast-growing bacteria can invade cell cultures undetected, leading to inaccurate results, wasted resources, and compromised research integrity. Early and effective detection is crucial to prevent mycoplasma from jeopardizing your valuable cell lines.
At Krishgen, we are your one-stop shop for reliable mycoplasma detection and removal solutions. We distribute a wide range of high-quality products from leading brands, empowering you to safeguard your cell cultures and ensure the accuracy and reliability of your research.
Detection Methods Tailored to Your Needs:
Our comprehensive portfolio offers various mycoplasma detection options to suit your specific needs:
- PCR-based Detection Kits: These highly sensitive kits provide rapid and reliable confirmation of mycoplasma contamination in your cell cultures. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology amplifies mycoplasma DNA, allowing for detection of even low levels of contamination.
- Immunological Detection Kits: These user-friendly kits offer a quicker alternative to PCR methods. They utilize antibodies to detect specific mycoplasma antigens present in contaminated cultures.
Effective Removal Strategies:
Once mycoplasma contamination is identified, it’s vital to take prompt action. We offer a selection of mycoplasma removal reagents proven to effectively eradicate these troublesome bacteria from your cell cultures:
- Antibiotic-based Removal Solutions: These treatments utilize specific antibiotics that target mycoplasma without harming your cell lines.
- Non-antibiotic Removal Treatments: Alternative options are available for researchers seeking antibiotic-free approaches to mycoplasma eradication.
