A rapid (20 min), simple and sensitive method for detecting mycoplasma contamination in cell cultures. This innovative kit utilizes the activity of mycoplasma metabolic enzymes from most 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.

The kit can be used with tube luminometers, plate luminometers and multifunctional readers.

Delivery information: This item is temperature-controlled and may have specific temperature and storage requirements for shipping/delivery. Product is light-sensitive and should be stored in the dark.

Packaging: Kit contains myco-sniff-rapid reagent (lyophilized), myco-sniff-rapid substrate (lyophilized) and mycofree water. Each kit provides sufficient components for 25 or 50 tests.

Caution: Research use only.
