Mycoplasma Removal Agent

SKU: orb436758

Description

Mycoplasma Removal Agent effectively eliminates mycoplasma strains—such as M. orale, M. arginini, M. hyorhinis, and A. laidlawii—from cell cultures while also preventing initial infections and recontamination. It is non-toxic and preserves cellular viability and function, though it should complement rather than replace proper aseptic cell culture techniques.

• Application Notes:
  Indications for Use: 1. Add MRA to cell cultures contaminated by mycoplasma at a concentration of 0.5 μg/ml and incubate for a week. 2. For media replacement or culture transfer (passage), use a medium containing MRA at this same concentration. 3. Transfer the cell cultures several times without MRA and confirm that regrowth of the contaminating mycoplasma has not occurred. If there is a concern about the presence of mycoplasma in serum or trypsin, MRA can be added to the media at a concentration of 0.5 μg/ml to prevent contamination of the cell cultures exposed to these products. Note: The recommended concentration for use is 0.5 μg/ml. The MRA concentration may be raised up to 1 μg/ml only when the recommended concentration is ineffective in removing the mycoplasma.
