Mycoplasma contamination of manufacturing cell cultures remains a major problem for biologics manufacturers. The MycoAlert® kits by Lonza provide a convenient and fast method for accurate and universal detection of mycoplasma contamination in cell culture supernatants.
The excellent sensitivity of the Centro LB 963 Microplate Luminometer in combination with the MycoAlert® kits provides a fast, reliable, and convenient way to detect mycoplasma contamination in cell cultures. In this application note we test both, MycoAlert® and MycoAlert® PLUS in the Centro LB 963 microplate luminometer.
