MP Biomedicals™ Myco-Sniff-Rapid™ Mycoplasma Luciferase Detection Kit

A rapid, 20 minute method that is simple and sensitive for the detection of mycoplasma contamination in cell cultures

• A quick, simple, and sensitive method for detecting mycoplasma contamination in cell cultures
• Kit utilizes the activity of mycoplasma metabolic enzymes from 209 mycoplasma species, including those commonly found contaminating cell cultures
• Since this enzyme is not present in eukaryotic cells, the test is specific for mycoplasma
• In the presence of mycoplasma, the enzymes react with the substrate to catalyze the conversion of ADP to ATP
• Mycoplasma contamination can be detected by measuring the level of ATP in a sample before and after the addition of Myco-Sniff-Rapid™ substrate via a luciferase assay
