Mycoplasma Testing
Mycoplasma testing of the end-products, intermediate products or raw materials is done using validated molecular RT-PCR and gel analysis methods. Observations are compared to positive control reference standards. The probes are broad-ranging to detect multiple species of Mycoplasma. Extensive data has been collected to show that molecular testing meets or exceeds long-term culture testing. Turnaround time is 3-5 days for standard testing.
