EZ-PCR Mycoplasma Test Kit

The newly developed EZ-PCR Mycoplasma Test Kit is a highly sensitive PCR assay which detects all Mycoplasma species that may contaminate tissue culture samples as well as achoplasma and spiroplasma species. It is a quick, simple and reliable and cost-effective method for regularly monitoring cells for mycoplasma detection.

Ordering Information

Order Code Unit Description Price
K1-0210 Each EZ-PCR Mycoplasma Test Kit, 20 assays £130.00
K1-0212 Kit EZ-PCR Mycoplasma Test Kit, (10 Assays) £72.50

Assay Characteristics

EZ-PCR Mycoplasma Test Kit is composed of a single tube PCR mix. It does not require special equipment and can be performed in any lab with a thermal cycler and electrophoresis equipment.

Running the PCR reaction products on an agarose gel will result in a 270bp band.

All of the ingredients needed for the PCR step are in a pre-mixed reaction solution so there is no need to worry about buffer, enzyme and dNTP concentrations. The primers used in the kit are derived from a highly conserved region within the 16S rRNA gene and can detect very low levels of contamination.

Working Procedure

Samples are centrifuged in a microcentrifuge tube. The pellets obtained are suspended in a unique DNA-release buffer and the DNA is amplified by PCR.

The time taken for preparing the sample for PCR is less than 10 minutes. 

Kit Contents

The kit contains Buffer Solution, PCR mix and a Positive Control sufficient for 20 tests.

A downloadable PDF file with detailed instructions is included with each kit.
