General description
The Venor™ GeM Mycoplasma Detection Kit utilizes the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which was established as the method of choice for highest sensitivity in the detection of Mycoplasma and Acholeplasma contamination in cell cultures and other cell culture derived biologicals. Detection requires as little as 1–5fg of mycoplasma DNA corresponding to 2–5 mycoplasma per sample volume. The primer set is specific to the highly conserved rRNA operon, or more specifically, the 16S rRNA coding region in the mycoplasma genome. This allows for detection of all Mycoplasma, Acholeplasma and Ureaplasma species tested so far, which are usually encountered as contaminants in cell cultures. Eukaryotic and bacterial DNA are not amplified by this kit.
Application
The PCR-based Venor™ GeM Mycoplasma Detection Kit employs PCR technology for rapid and reliable detection of mycoplasma DNA in cell cultures and virus stocks.
Components
Does not include Taq Polymerase. Optimized for use with D9307, Taq DNA Polymerase
Storage and Stability
The kit components are stable during shipping at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store at 2–8 °C. After rehydration of the primer/nucleotide mix, the positive control, and the internal control, store below –20 °C and avoid repeated freezing and thawing. For repeated testing of low sample numbers, primer/nucleotide mix and controls should be aliquoted after rehydration. By following these recommendations, the kit is stable until the expiration date stated on the label.
