Description Mycoplasmas are prokaryotes that commonly contaminate cells in the laboratory. The main sources of contamination include cells and virus strains, as well as animal-derived raw materials such as serum, chicken embryos, and primary cells, and the operators themselves. According to statistics, approximately 15%-35% of cells are contaminated with mycoplasmas. Mycoplasmas can alter a range of host cell characteristics, including structure and function, leading to inaccurate experimental results. They can also interfere with cell metabolism and growth, alter nucleic acid synthesis, affect cell antigenicity, cause chromosomal changes, interfere with viral replication, and mimic viral functions.
This test kit offers high specificity and sensitivity, and can be used to qualitatively detect mycoplasma contamination in master cell banks, working cell banks, viral seed batches, control cells, and cells used in clinical treatment. It can be used in conjunction with the Host Cell Residual DNA (Magnetic Bead Method) Sample Pretreatment Kit (abs60544). Detection Principle: According to <2.6.7> of the European Pharmacopoeia, nucleic acid amplification (NAT) can replace culture and indicator cell culture methods after appropriate validation. Fluorescent probe (TaqMan®) qPCR is characterized by high sensitivity and specificity, making TaqMan® the preferred method for mycoplasma detection. TaqMan® fluorescent probes are oligonucleotide probes with a fluorescent group (reporter) at the 5' end, such as FAM, CY5, or VIC, and a quencher at the 3' end, such as TAMRA or BHQ1. During PCR amplification, a specific fluorescent probe is added along with a pair of primers. When the probe is intact, the fluorescent signal emitted by the fluorescent group is absorbed by the quencher. During PCR amplification, the 5'-3' exonuclease activity of the Taq enzyme cleaves and degrades the probe, separating the fluorophore and quencher. This allows the fluorescence monitoring system (fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument) to detect a fluorescent signal. This means that each time a DNA strand is amplified, a fluorescent molecule is formed, ensuring that the accumulation of the fluorescent signal is completely synchronized with the formation of PCR products. This kit utilizes a multiplex PCR approach, using two different fluorescent probes to detect the target sequence and the internal reference, respectively.

Technical Index Limit of Detection: 100% detection rate for 10 standard strains of Mycoplasma species listed in various pharmacopoeias, including Mycoplasma oralis, Mycoplasma hyorhinis, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Limit of Blank: No detection was detected in 24 replicates of DNA diluted directly. Precision: Ten replicates of the same Mycoplasma-positive reference sample yielded positive results, with a coefficient of variation of Ct values of <5%. Specificity: No detection was detected when 300 pg/μL genomic DNA from common biological products (e.g., Human, Vero, CHO, HEK293, E. coli, Pichia pastoris) was used as a sample. No detection was detected when DNA from other engineered bacteria (e.g., Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus fermentum) was used as a sample. No detection was detected when DNA from negative matrices such as PBS and 10% fetal bovine serum was used as a sample.
Durability:
Mycoplasma standard strains can be stably detected under different dilution matrices (such as DMEM medium, CHO serum-free medium, etc.), product freeze-thaw, product transportation, and multiple instrument model changes (such as ABI 7500, Bio-Rad CFX Opus96, Roche LightCycler 96, etc.).
General Notes (1) This kit has passed the stability verification (freeze-thaw and other factors) and does not require repackaging.
(2) The preparation and loading environment of negative samples (2×qPCR Reaction MIX, Primer & Probe MIX and DNA diluent, etc.) and positive samples (PC and test samples, etc.) must be separated into different areas and cannot be operated in the same area. The preparation personnel must dress neatly, wear masks, gloves and clean clothes.
(3) Pay attention to changing the pipette tips in time between different loading steps to avoid cross contamination, avoid opening the lid for a long time, and avoid liquid sticking to the wall when using a pipette.
(4) The kit must be used within the validity period. It is not recommended to mix related reagents from different batches.
(5) It is recommended that all components in the kit be thawed in a low temperature environment before use, and it must be ensured that they are fully dissolved. Each component must be fully mixed before use to ensure the homogeneity of the reagents. The mixed reagents must be briefly centrifuged so that all the liquid on the tube wall and lid is concentrated at the bottom of the tube. If precipitates are found in the DNA diluent, it is recommended to incubate at 37°C to completely dissolve the DNA diluent.
(6) Only by strictly following the operating instructions and using all the reagents provided with this kit can the best detection results be guaranteed.
(7) The final test results are closely related to the effectiveness of the reagents, the operator's operating methods, and the test environment.
Storage Temp. Store at -20℃, valid for 12 months.
