Application Note: Benchmarking of the Microsart^® AMP Mycoplasma kit with Products of Two Other Suppliers

The traditional growth-based method of mycoplasma detection requires a cultivation time of at least 28 days before contamination can be ruled out with certainty. In comparison, Nucleic Acid Amplification Techniques (NAT) reduce time to results to just hours. 

With several different PCR kits to detect mycoplasma available, we benchmarked the Microsart^® AMP Mycoplasma kit against products of two other suppliers.
