Mycoplasma detection
Mycoplasma, the smallest and simplest of the prokaryotes, are common contaminants of cell cultures. Symptoms of mycoplasma contamination include a reduction in the rate of proliferation and changes in cellular responses, including gene expression. Routine testing for mycoplasma can identify contaminated cell cultures before valuable time and work are lost.
