Mycoplasma Cleaner

The Mycoplasma Cleaner is a ready-to-use solution specifically designed to decontaminate laboratory surfaces and apparatus. It offers a wide spectrum of activity, effectively targeting Mycoplasma spp., S. aureus, E. faecalis, E. coli, P. mirabilis, P. aeruginosa, C. albicans, as well as HBV/HIV, Papovavirus, Adenovirus, Poliovirus, and other contaminants.

Mycoplasma species, which are common contaminants in cell cultures, can be challenging to detect using standard microscopy techniques due to their small size. As a result, Mycoplasma infections often go unnoticed, leading to cell infection and a range of detrimental effects. Contamination can occur through media spills from contaminated cell cultures during loading and unloading procedures in biosafety cabinets, resulting in surface contamination where Mycoplasma can survive for extended periods. To prevent cross-contamination, it is crucial to promptly isolate and eliminate infected cultures, as even low levels of Mycoplasma infection can disrupt cell growth, alter metabolism, and protein synthesis. Regular and thorough cleaning and disinfection of all surfaces and equipment are vital measures to combat and prevent Mycoplasma contamination in the laboratory.

By utilizing the Mycoplasma Cleaner and implementing proper hygiene practices, you can effectively mitigate the risk of mycoplasma contamination, ensuring the integrity of your cell cultures and the reliability of your research.
