Overview

• Detection kits for Mycoplasma DNA
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

Mycoplasma is a common and serious contaminant of cell cultures. Mycoplasma is often not visible and does not respond to antibiotics, and therefore it is a major issue that requires monitoring and early detection. Up to 30% of cell cultures may be contaminated with Mycoplasmas, the main contaminants being the species M. orale, M. laidlawii, M. arginini and M. hyorhinis. These organisms produce a variety of effects on the infected cells in culture, including changes in metabolism growth, viability and morphology, thereby altering the phenotypic characteristics of the host cells. Therefore there is an absolute requirement for routine, periodic assays to diagnose possible Mycoplasma contamination of all cell cultures, particularly continuous or established cell lines.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All kit components can be stored for 2 years after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.

All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 2 x) of the Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots.

Propargyl-PEG4-Maleimide has a propargyl group and a maleimide group. The propargyl group reacts with azide compounds or biomolecules under the catalyzation of copper in Click Chemistry reactions. The maleimide group enables the formation of a covalent bond with biomolecules containing a thiol group. Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.

Introduction

A rapid, high performance dye-terminator removal process based on the paramagnetic bead technology. The paramagnetic bead format requires no centrifugation or filtration and is easily performedmanually or fully automated for high throughput dye-terminator removal. Compared to similar systems, this product produces sequences with longer Phred 20 read lengths and higher signal intensities than any other purification technology.

Specifications

Principle

The CleanSeq method contains magnetic particles in an optimized binding buffer to selectively capture sequencing extension products. The protocol can be performed directly in the thermal cycling plate. Unincorporated dyes, nucleotides, salts and contaminants are removed using a simple washing procedure. The purification procedure is amenable to a variety of automation platforms since it requires no centrifugation or vacuum filtration.

Advantages

• High recovery – up to 90%
• High throughput – using magnetic beads purification technology
• Simple – simplified operation process, combination – washing – elution

Storage and Stability

CleanSeq Beads should be stored at 2-8°C upon arrival and is stable up to 6 months under the condition. However, short-term storage (up to 12 weeks) at room temperature (15-25°C) does not affect its performance. Mix CleanSeq Beads well before using. The reagent should appear homogenous and consistent in color.
