Description
Mycoplasma is a frequent contaminant of cell cultures. It is the smallest and the simplest prokaryotic organism without cell walls. Therefore, it can pass through 0.22 μm filters easily. Moreover, the common antibiotics which target the cell wall, such as penicillin or β-lactam antibiotics, are ineffective against mycoplasmas. Mycoplasma contamination can severely affect the state of cells, causing changes in gene expression and metabolic characteristics, decelerated cell growth, abnormal cell differentiation, and cell death. It also severely affects cellular functions.
MP Biomedicals Myco-Out Mycoplasma Removal Spray is a ready-to-use peptide surfactant, which can quickly, efficiently and non-toxically eliminate mycoplasma from working surroundings such as:
- Benches
