Mycoplasma PCR Detection Kit

Mycoplasma is the smallest and simplest prokaryote. It has the following characteristics: there is no cell wall structure, and many common antibiotics that target the cell wall, such as penicillin or beta-lactam antibiotics, are ineffective against mycoplasma; The size is between bacteria and viruses, about 0.2-0.8μm, some mycoplasma can pass 0.22 μm filter, conventional filtration is ineffective for mycoplasma; Due to their limited biosynthesis capacity, many mycoplasma are usually adsorbated or scattered on the cell surface and between cells, relying on the host for nutrition. Mycoplasma pollution may seriously affect the state of cells, causing changes in gene expression and metabolic characteristics of cells, resulting in abnormal cell growth, differentiation and death, and seriously affecting cell function. At the same time, the reliability, repeatability and consistency of the experimental results are seriously affected, so the detection of mycoplasma contamination is very important.

• Compared with luminescence method and DNA staining method, PCR method has higher sensitivity, strong specificity and easy operation. • Mycoplasma species can be accurately identified according to the size of the 1st and 2nd PCR products.

• In order to prevent contamination of the Positive Control Template, it is necessary to add the Positive Control Template to the positive control group after adding samples to the test group and negative control group.
