- In Cell Culture it is important to work clean as contaminations are very frustrating for the scientist and in the end also very expensive.
- PanReac AppliChem offers a variety of products for prevention, detection and fighting against contamination.
Mycoplasma in Cell Culture
Contamination of cell lines with mycoplasma is a widespread and often underestimated problem. Although visible signs like turbidity or pH-changes are rare, mycoplasma infections can cause a number of cellular alterations, ranging from a decelerated growth rate and altered immunological properties to metabolic and morphologic changes.
The consequences of mycoplasma contaminations are serious, with regard to scientific methods like any kind of cell-based assay as well as in terms of health risks for humans and animals.
In this page you will learn more about the Detection of mycoplasma species, the Treatment of contaminated cell cultures and effective Prevention of new infections. We also provide a broad background for an improved understanding of reasons for and consequences of mycoplasma contaminations.
