Detection of Mycoplasma Using the SynergyTM 2 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader and the Lonza MycoAlert Assay Important quality control for tissue cultures
نویسنده
چکیده
Mycoplasma contamination is a common problem with continuously cultured cell lines. Contamination, which may go undetected for long periods of time, can alter cellular proliferation, gene expression, and other cellular responses. Early detection of this insidious pest is an important part of good tissue culture quality control. Here we describe the detection of Mycoplasma using the SynergyTM 2 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader to run a MycoAlert Mycoplasma detection kit from Lonza.

Determination of NADH Concentrations with the SynergyTM 2 Multi-Detection Microplate Reader using Fluorescence or Absorbance
Many biological assays have as their basis a link to the oxidative status of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). Many dehydrogenase enzymes use these coenzymes to transfer hydrogen groups between molecules. Because the reduced forms of these molecules differ from the oxidized forms in their ability to absorb light, it is possible to qua...

متن کاملIsolation and detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae from cell culture by culture and PCR.
Background: Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of the major species of mycoplasmas which could contaminate cell cultures. Identification of M. pneuminae is significant because Mycoplasmas could contaminate and have unsuitable effect on the cell cultures. Rapid detection of these contaminations is so important and it could be significant role in preventing and controlling of contamination in cell cul...
