MycoSEQ™ Mycoplasma Detection System Kit

The MycoSEQ Mycoplasma Detection Kit is a real-time PCR assay designed and validated to meet the requirements of European Pharmacopeia Chapter 2.6.7. The primers were designed using a proprietary bioinformatics pipeline to detect >90 mycoplasma species with high specificity and no cross-reactivity to closely-related bacterial species. 
The assay's sensitivity has been demonstrated by internal and external validations to detect 10 cfu/mL or the genomic equivalent of 10 GC/mL as recommended by regulatory guidance.
 

Real-time PCR provides rapid results, making this assay ideal for in-process testing or part of a microbial risk mitigation strategy across a bioprocess workflow, including cell line characterization, raw material tests, etc. Additionally, it allows for rapid lot release testing across multiple biotherapeutic modalities (e.g., biologics, vaccines, cell therapy products) and has been widely used and accepted by regulatory authorities following the required validation.












The PrepSEQ nucleic acid extraction module included with this version of the kit offers a robust and easy workflow to overcome complex matrix challenges to ensure the required sensitivity. Unlike other mycoplasma kits available, the MycoSEQ kit also includes a proprietary Discriminatory Positive Control to differentiate a true positive from any potential cross-contamination positives.
This is a key feature in avoiding false positive results from mycoplasma controls used during validation or routine testing.










 
  • Fast testing and streamlined workflow — typically less than 5 hours to turnaround time
  • Comprehensive solution - detection of more than 90 types of mycoplasma
  • Proven sensitivity — detects less than 10 replicates / reaction
  • Proven specificity - no cross-reactivity with non-mycoplasma DNA
  • Proven technology — PrepSEQ sample preparation reagents provide high-throughput DNA recovery
  • Discriminatory positive / extraction control - minimizes the risk of false positive results
  • Reliable and efficient — rapid analysis of results and automatic present / missing call (according to acceptance criteria) with Applied Biosystems™ AccuSEQ™ Real-Time PCR Detection Software
