Diagnostics
When it comes to pathogen detection, real-time PCR is the most established and successfully implemented molecular technique to date. It can detect slow-growing, difficult-to-cultivate microorganisms, and can be used when traditional microbiological techniques are inadequate, ambiguous, time-consuming, difficult, and costly.
Benefits of using PhoenixDx® for pathogen detection:
- It’s fast: from DNA to result in ~ 2h
- It’s flexible: throughput from single reactions to 1536 reactions in one run
- It’s highly specific and sensitive: detection of a unique DNA sequence
- It’s cost-efficient: the more samples, the lower the cost per sample
PhoenixDx® Detection Kits
Mycoplasma
Mycoplasma are the most common contamination in cell culture. They can affect cell culture in many different ways depending on the cell line, cultivation conditions etc. making it difficult to pinpoint them as the source of a problem. In general, an infection with mycoplasma will at least interfere with proper data collection and precious time and money is lost.
Realtime-PCR can detect Mycoplasma contamination at an early stage. It is an easy, cost-effective and fast testing method that can easily integrated into laboratory routine and help to ensure high-quality data from clean experiments.
PhoenixDx® Mycoplasma Mix
qPCR solution for the detection of mycoplasma contamination for example in cell culture. More than 130 different mollicute species can be detected
