MycoplasmaElimination Reagent Plus（100×）10*1ml

Product Description/Introduction

The product can be used to eliminate mycoplasma that is commonly present in cell cultures. It is composed of antibiotics of quinolones and tetracyclines, which interfere with mycoplasma DNA replication and protein synthesis, respectively. This reagent works at low concentrations, intoxicant to eukaryotic cells.Mycoplasma in cell culture medium can be effectively removed about 10 days after the supplement of this reagent.

Storage and Shipping Conditions

Ship with wet ice; store at -20℃, avoid freeze -thaw cycles, valid for 12 months.

Assay Protocol / Procedures

1. Add 1 mL of Mycoplasma Elimination Reagent Plus (100×) to 100 mL of cell medium (containing serum, without double antibiotic) and mix well.

2. If cells are contaminated with mycoplasma, cultivate cells in culture medium supplemented with Mycoplasma Elimination Reagent Plus for one week.

3. Planting some cells into 6-well plates (or other standard culture vessels) and cultured with normal culture medium. The remaining cells are continued to be cultured with medium containing Mycoplasma Elimination Reagent Plus.

4. Cells in 6-well plates are cultured with normal culture medium for 2-3 days, and mycoplasma detection  (recommended G1900, G1901, G1902). is performed when the cell confluence reach more than 90%.

5. According to the test result, perform the following operations:

A) Positive result: continue to repeat steps 3-4 until the test result is negative.

B) Negative results: the cell group containing Mycoplasma Elimination Reagent medium is replaced with normal complete medium, and Mycoplasma detection is performed after a period of culture; A negative retest indicates that mycoplasma elimination is complete.

Note

1. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. If you need to use multiple times, please pay attention to appropriate packaging. In addition, if there is crystallization or precipitation after thawing, vortex or reverse mixing can promote crystallization or precipitation dissolution, without affecting the use effect.

2. This product has been tested in a variety of mycoplasma infected cell lines, but different cell lines have different sensitivity to reagents. If the cytotoxicity is too great or the removal effect is not good, the solubility of the product can be adjusted appropriately, and other scavenger can be selected ( recommend G4008).

3. It is recommended to add mycoplasma prevention reagent (recommend G4009) in cell cultures 同prevent mycoplasma contamination.

4. For cells that have been identified as mycoplasma contamination, a separate ultra-clean bench should be used to avoid cross-contamination.

5. For your safty and health,please wear safety glasses, gloves, or protective clothing.
