How can I test for mycoplasma?
Irvine Scientific offers MYCOTRIM® TC. The MYCOTRIM® TC system allows routine screening of cell cultures, as well as media and reagents which can potentially contaminate cell culture. Use of this test kit is efficient, while minimizing labor and expense. MYCOTRIM® TC requires only 1 mL of supernatant to inoculate the flask, which is then incubated for a maximum of 10 days. The triphasic system allows reinoculation within the same closed flask; this provides a high degree of sensitivity while protecting the environment and the sample from contamination. It is also provided with a color changing indicator as well as Dienes Stain to allow definitive identification of mycoplasma.
