The MycoBlue Mycoplasma Detector offers a fast, simple, and highly accurate method for detecting mycoplasma contamination in cell cultures without the need for PCR, qPCR, or electrophoresis.

Buy here from the manufacturer.

Just add 1 µl of cell culture supernatant to the reaction mix, incubate at 60°C for 1 hour, and visually inspect the result. No specialized equipment is required, making it ideal for routine use directly in the cell culture lab.

Key Advantages

• Fast: Results in just 1 hour at 60°C
• Simple: Add sample directly no DNA extraction or pretreatment needed
• Accurate: Detection performance comparable to qPCR, superior to traditional PCR
• Contamination-Free: Eliminates the need for electrophoresis, reducing aerosol-related false positives
• Inhibitor-Tolerant: More resistant to culture medium inhibitors reduces false negatives
