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.

Introduction

This product is suitable for extracting total viral nucleic acid from cell-free/low-content cell biological samples such as body fluids, serums, plasma, soaking solutions, tissue homogenate supernatant, and culture supernatant. The Purified DNA/RNA is used for RT-PCR and PCR detection.

Principle

This product is based on the purification method of high binding magnetic particles. The sample is lysed and digested under the action of lysate and Protease. DNA/RNA is released into the lysate. After adding magnetic particles and binding solution, DNA/RNA will be adsorbed on the surface of magnetic particles, and impurities such as proteins will be removed without adsorption. The adsorbed particles were washed with washing solution to remove proteins and impurities, washed with ethanol to remove salts, and finally DNA/RNA was eluted by Nuclease Free Water.

Advantages

• Fast – several samples can be extracted in 40 minutes by column method
• High quality – high purity total RNA / DNA can be directly used in various sensitive downstream applications
• Safe – no phenol chloroform extraction required
• Sensitive – DNA/RNA can be recovered at the level of PG
