Microsart® Mycoplasma Detection Designed for fast, reliable detection using real-time PCR

Viable but non-culturable (VBNC) Mycoplasma can go undetected when using the traditional method of mycoplasma culturing, risking false-negative results. Our Microsart® qPCR kits offer a method for early detection of mycoplasma contamination. These kits are fast, highly specific, sensitive, and compliant with international guidelines. 

Microsart® Mycoplasma qPCR detection kits: a rapid and guideline-compliant solution for Mycoplasma detection.

Why Choose the Microsart® ATMP Mycoplasma qPCR Detection?

  • Microsart® ATMP Mycoplasma enables a reliable and sensitive  detection of Mycoplasma DNA
  • Reliable Results in 3 Hours — Avoid lengthy 28-day cultivation protocols with Microsart® Mycoplasma qPCR Kits. TaqMan® probes ensure the highest qPCR specificity without the need for a melting-curve analysis
  • The Only Non-infectious, Quantified Validation Standards — Validation standards for required mycoplasma species in Microsart® Validation Standard kits are lyophilized and non-infectious. We provide step-by-step, matrix-specific validation guidance from Sartorius qPCR experts.

  • Compliance with International Standards — Microsart® Mycoplasma Kits are validated according to EP 2.6.7 for sensitivity, specificity, and robustness. They also fulfill the criteria of international authorities, such as USP and JP.
  • Reduce Pipetting Steps — The ready-to-use master mix has the DNA for internal control already included. Avoid false-negative results and minimize the number of reactions you need to run.
  • Use Your Existing Equipment — Microsart® Mycoplasma qPCR kits can be used with any qPCR cycler able to detect the fluorescent dyes FAM® and ROX®. Our clear, color-coded reagents guide the user through the short and simple protocol. Lyophilized reagents ensure consistent quality without the need for freezer storage.

Micorsart® AMP Extraction 

The kit was especially designed to complement the Microsart® AMP Mycoplasma, Microsart® ATMP Mycoplasma and Microsart® RESEARCH Mycoplasma qPCR kits and to provide best performance in means of sensitivity and robustness for the detection of mycoplasma within a test sample.

The Dangers of Mycoplasma Contamination

 

Mycoplasma contamination can quietly compromise experiments, change cell behavior, and invalidate results without any obvious signs. More than 95% of contaminations arise from just six species and can spread through water baths, pipettes, or even lab personnel. Traditional testing methods can take weeks. Microsart® Mycoplasma offers reliable detection in just 3 hours, allowing you to respond quickly and safeguard your work.
