Product Description
The Mycoplasma qPCR Detection Kit is designed for the detection of mycoplasma DNA extracted from cell suspensions using real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) technology. To broaden the range of detectable species, the primers and probe included in the kit are specifically designed to target a conserved region of the 16S rRNA gene in mycoplasma. The kit is capable of detecting 22 common mycoplasma species found in cell culture, as well as Escherichia coli, Chlamydia pneumoniae, Legionella pneumophila, and Streptococcus pneumoniae, while minimizing cross-reactivity. The detection limit is as low as 10 copies.
Storage
Store at -80 °C. Shipped on dry ice. Shelf life: 6 months.
It is recommended to aliquot the reagents based on usage frequency to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
