Is Your Cell Culture Research at Risk? The Shocking Truth About Mycoplasma Contamination

Mycoplasma contamination is a common problem in cell cultures, and it can have a significant impact on your research. Mycoplasma is a type of bacteria that can infect your cell lines, causing problems such as changes in gene expression, cell morphology, and growth rates. This can lead to inaccurate experimental results, wasted time and resources, and even publication retractions.

This is a significant problem in cell culture research, with studies estimating that up to 35% of all cell cultures may be contaminated with mycoplasma. This high prevalence of contamination highlights the importance of routine testing for mycoplasma to ensure the accuracy and reliability of your research results.

The consequences of using contaminated cell cultures can be severe, leading to incorrect experimental outcomes and wasted time, resources, and funding. In some cases, it may even result in the need to repeat experiments or delay project timelines, which can be costly and time-consuming.

That's why it's essential to have a reliable and efficient method for detecting mycoplasma contamination in your cell cultures. And that's where the PhoenixDx® Mycoplasma Mix from Trax Lab Systems comes in.

The PhoenixDx® Mycoplasma Mix is a fast, reliable, and highly specific qPCR solution for the detection of mycoplasma contamination in cell cultures.
