Mycoplasma Detection
abm’s Mycoplasma detection kits offer fast, sensitive, and reliable screening to protect your cell cultures. The Mycoplasma PCR and Pro PCR Detection Kits detect over 200 and 300 strains respectively, with the Pro version featuring an internal control for added accuracy. For ultra sensitivity, the Mycoplasma qPCR Detection Kit detects as few as 10 copies directly from media. All three outperform competitors in sensitivity, speed, and value.

Sensitive Detection

abm's Mycoplasma PCR Detection Kit can detect samples containing as low as 10 genome copies of Mycoplasma. abm's Mycoplasma PCR Detection Kit (Cat. No. G238) was used to detect samples containing ~10 to 100,000 genome copies of Mycoplasma. Presence of Mycoplasma was confirmed as a 450 bp band.
Confident Results
Mycoplasma Pro PCR Detection Kit (Cat. No. G239) was used to confirm the presence of contamination in five cell culture samples. Positive mycoplasma bands (300 bp – 600 bp) were detected in samples 2, 3, and 4. Internal PCR control band (180 bp) is present in all lanes which confidently determines a genuine negative result.

Reliable Amplification

Mycoplasma qPCR Detection Kit (Cat. No. G240) demonstrates a highly linear qPCR standard curve from a tenfold serial dilution of positive control DNA (10⁷ to 1 copy). qPCR amplification was performed across eight dilution points, and the resulting Ct values showed a strong linear correlation with log₁₀(copy number), indicating excellent amplification efficiency and a broad dynamic range. No amplification was observed in the No Template Control (NTC), confirming the assay’s high specificity.
