What is the basis of the positive control in the mycoplasma kit?
It is DNA fragments of Mycoplasma gDNA diluted in medium.
Can you send the protocol for this kit, please? I am interested in purchasing this product, but I am not sure how much cells I can purify with this kit. I just detected mycoplasma with your mycoplasma detection kit. Thank you for your help.

I notice a white precipitate after the delivery of the product; is this normal?
Yes, it is normal to observe a white precipitate in each vial. Please re-suspend the vial to mix the components. The solution is particulate in nature so it is not homologous nor will the particles dissolve. There should be divided solids throughout the tube after mixing. If vortexing doesn't help, you can try pipetting the mixture inside the hood if the pellet is hard to break.
Which mycoplasma strains are targeted?
Potential strains which may be affected are: Mycoplasma pneumonia strains Mycoplasma hyosynoviae strains Mycoplasma hyorhinis strains Mycoplasma synoviae strains Note: Some strains may naturally become tolerant to this cocktail due to their endogenous defense mechanisms, and thus may show reduced sensitivity. In such cases, other antibiotic combinations may need to be considered.
I have used the Mycoplasma Elimination Cocktail on my cells but my cells are dying. Why is this happening?
The mycoplasma cocktail is a very potent combination of different antibiotics to increase the success of eliminating mycoplasma. Even though we have tested and confirmed no cytotoxicity was observed for a variety of cell lines, we would still recommend optimizing the best dilution for your specific cell line in order to achieve best results.
