Venor®GeM qEP enables fast and reliable detection of mycoplasma contamination in cell cultures, biopharmaceuticals and ATMPs (e.g. cell-based therapeutics). Mycoplasma are specifically detected by amplifying a highly conserved rRNA operon, or more specifically, the 16S rRNA coding region in the mycoplasma genome. False negative results can be ruled out by the provided internal control. Corresponding extraction kits and reference standards for matrix-specific validation are also available.
Key Points:
- Detection of >160 mycoplasma species
- Time-to-result within three hours
- Specificity through TaqMan® probes
- Simple workflow with minimal hands-on time
- Validation report available
