Mycoplasmas are nasty and typically still underestimated cell culture contaminants which often remain undetected – causing questionable results and unnecessary expenses. See how a sensitive and convenient PCR-based mycoplasma detection is performed in the lab using a PromoCell Mycoplasma Test Kit. Can Martin Buldun, Andrei Smid and Ulla Schellhaas who are BCCB 3rd year students at Jacobs University Bremen will show you how easy it is to reliably detect these unwanted contaminants using a simple PCR setup.
