Shimadzu Diagnostics Corporation has developed a mycoplasma detection kit, MycoFinder, that has been validated in accordance with the International Pharmacopeial recommendations (EP 2.6.7, JP 17 and USP 63) and is now commercially available throughout Europe, Middle East, and Africa.

MycoFinder uses real-time fluorescent PCR to ensure sensitive mycoplasma detection (below 10 CFU/mL).

The kit is simple and quick to implement in laboratories where time is of the essence for the release of batches of cell culture-derived biologics and Advanced Therapy Medicines (ATMPs). All components of the Master Mix are freeze-dried in each PCR tube, allowing preparation of PCR reactions in minutes.

SimplePrep® (SPX) DNA extraction is an all-in-one automated cell lysis and nucleic acid extraction prep station designed to rapidly isolate nucleic acid from complex sample matrices in 15 to 30 minutes.
