Mycoplasma testing is a crucial component of quality control in cell therapy studies. In clinical applications, such as those ...

Mycoplasma contamination is prevalent in cell culture labs: in one study, researchers identified mycoplasma contamination in 11% of the 10,000 cell lines they tested (Olarerin-George et al. 2015).

Translational research requires extensive preclinical development. During these early stages, scientists use cell cultures extensively to test and validate a broad range of research questions before ...

Cell culture is a deliciously inviting hub for bacteria, fungi, and mycoplasmas. However, as our own 'cell-culture sleuth' points out, failing to detect and eliminate contamination can alter all ...

An interview with Patrick Swan, COO of Gold Biotechnology, discussing the effects of mycoplasma contamination on cell cultures and the development of rapid detection kits that provide answers in just ...

The global mycoplasma testing market is projected to grow at a robust 11% CAGR from 2022 to 2027. Key drivers include expanding R&D activities and investments, increased government funding initiatives ...

Cell cultures are at high risk of mycoplasma contamination due to the bacteria's lack of a rigid cell wall, its small size and its varying shape. Once a cell culture has been infected, mycoplasma can ...

After a microbiology-filled academic and research career, Diana Patzelt became the Global Project Manager for Microbial Enumeration Products at Sartorius (Göttingen, Germany), earning her the title of ...

The Francis Crick Institute in London opened its doors in 2016, bringing together dozens of biomedical research groups from different institutes. However, two years before the scientists arrived, the ...
