An Ounce of Prevention: How To Protect Your Cells With Fast and Accurate Mycoplasma Screening

Mycoplasma infection can severely impact laboratories, cores, and companies alike. Cells can be adversely affected by mycoplasma contamination in many ways, including altered proliferation, survival, morphology, gene expression, and functional characteristics. As the number and severity of symptoms manifest inconsistently, data produced from mycoplasma-infected cells are considered unreliable. The most successful method of dealing with mycoplasma is to regularly screen cell lines to identify and isolate potential infections as quickly as possible.
