Sensitive and Rapid visual Detection for
Mycoplasma Contamination in Cell Cultures

Mycoplasma produces no visible turbidity and cannot be removed by standard filtration — contamination spreads silently while altering cell metabolism, gene expression and your experimental results.
Cell proliferation and energy use change without visible signs
Transcriptional profiles shift — data becomes unreliable
Experiments yield artifacts that cannot be explained by your variables
Understanding the sources helps prevent contamination before it starts.
Mycoplasma survives cryopreservation and reactivates on thaw — test before every new batch enters your lab.
Cells from other labs or biobanks appear healthy and grow normally —contamination is only visible through testing.
Unexplained changes in cell growth rate, morphology or experimental reproducibility are warning signs. If results cannot be explained by experimental variables, Mycoplasma should be ruled out immediately.
Regular screening before passaging and when introducing new cells is the most effective measure to protect your research.
Detechgene offers a PCR-alternative in the form of lyophilized LAMP beads, enabling highly specific and sensitive nucleic acid detection comparable to PCR while delivering results within 30 minutes.
From sample to result in around 30 minutes. No waiting for an external lab, no sample shipment and no turnaround time of days.
No qPCR cycler, no gel electrophoresis, no specialized expertise required. Designed for routine use in any cell culture laboratory.
Test your cell culture supernatant directly — no DNA extraction, no sample preparation step. Just a few simple steps from media to result.
Detects the most relevant Mycoplasma species in a single assay.
(tested in-silico)
A single Mycoplasma LAMP bead is ready-made pre-mix consisting of:
Species of Mycoplasma
The bead detects at least 4 of the most relevants pecies responsible for cell culture contamination.
