Mycoplasma Stain Kit

The Mycoplasma Stain Kit uses a DNA fluorochrome staining method. A cell sheet between 50-80% confluent is fixed
and stained with the Hoechst dye and examined under fluorescent microscopy.
The nature of the contaminants may be determined by its morphology, size and relationship to the cells. Mycoplasma
will appear as very small bright extranuclear dots or rods. Other microbial contaminants will be larger

• Reliable: Use of the Hoechst fluorescent stain method cited by the Tissue Culture Association (TCA procedure no.75361).
• Versatile: Detection of mycoplasma and bacteria, yeast, fungi.
• Rapid: The test takes less than 2 hours.
•  
• Complete: Stain, diluent, mounting medium and controls are included in the kit
