Mycoplasma tests according to the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) Chapter 2.6.7 require a sensitivity of 10 colony forming units (CFU) per ml sample volume for NAT-based methods such as PCR in order to replace traditional culture methods. This sensitivity must be accomplished as part of the robustness testing for any particular sample matrix.

Venor GeM Advance contains PCR reaction tubes pre-coated with all PCR reagents to reduce the total assay time without need to prepare aliquots of a master mix. For additional convenience the gel loading buffer and dye are already included in the reaction buffer. After thermal cycling the PCR can be loaded directly on the agarose gel.

Venor®GeM Classic allows fast, reliable and time-saving routine monitoring of mycoplasma contamination by PCR.

Venor®GeM OneStep is a complete kit which includes all reagents required for PCR. Primer, nucleotides, polymerase and the internal amplification control are provided ready-to-use in a lyophilized reaction mix. The included rehydration buffer is added to the mix, aliquots made according to the sample number, sample or Positive Control DNA added and the setup is ready for PCR.

Are you frequently finding bacterial contamination in your cell cultures? Sometimes bacteria in cell cultures can be deceiving enough to lack visual signs of contamination (such as fast decoloration of medium), demonstrate resistance to standard antibiotics and directly impact the cell metabolism, growth and differentiation. To get reliable results, cell cultures need frequent screening for bacterial contamination with bacterial detection kits.

ConviFlex DNAmp Mix is a lyophilized ready-to-use PCR master mix, which consists of all core components required for PCR amplification, except DNA template and primers.

SwabUp Lab Monitoring kit is for tracing DNA contamination hot-spots in molecular biology labs in order to efficiently eliminate them and prevent future occurrence.
