Mycoplasma PCR Detection Kit (Nested PCR) (2G) is based on the nested PCR method (Nested PCR) to detect mycoplasma infection in various biological materials (such as cell culture, experimental animal secretions and animal serum, etc.). The kit uses quantitative PCR technology, designs two sets of primers for the conservative region of the mycoplasma 16S-23S rRNA sequence, performs two rounds of PCR amplification, and judges the mycoplasma contamination based on the second round of amplification products. It can detect 34 types of mycoplasma, including oral mycoplasma (M.orale), pneumoniae (M.pneumoniae), hyorhinis (M.hyorhinis), arginine mycoplasma (M.arginini), gallisepticum (M.gallisepticum), synoviae (M.synoviae), fermentation mycoplasma (M.fermentans), citric spiroplasma (Spiroplasma citri), salivarium (M.salivarium), etc., with a sensitivity of up to 2.5 copies/uL. It can also amplify bands normally for 10 CFU/mL mycoplasma standard strains. It has the characteristics of strong specificity, high sensitivity, convenient and fast operation, and can be directly used for the detection of cell culture supernatant.

Compared with conventional PCR mycoplasma detection kits, this product can avoid the production of non-specific products due to non-specific pairing between primers and templates; it can also sensitively detect trace amounts of mycoplasma DNA in samples to avoid false negatives.

Features

Comprehensive Detection: Advanced nested PCR technology enables the detection of up to 34 mycoplasma species in a single assay.

Exceptional Specificity: Primers target the conserved 16S–23S rRNA region with no cross-reactivity to related species such as Clostridium or Lactobacillus.

Ultra-High Sensitivity: Achieves a detection limit as low as 2.5 copies/μL for early and reliable identification.

Fast & Convenient Workflow: Streamlined protocol allows for sample preparation and detection in under 2 hours.

Safe & Contamination-Free: The included non-infectious positive control ensures safety and eliminates the risk of cross-contamination.

(A)/(B).Sample matrix interference: 14 common sample matrices and the positive control and its spiked content (2.5 copies/μL positive control) and negative control (PCR Mix) in the kit were selected for verification. No mycoplasma was detected in any of the 14 matrices.

(C).Detection Range: GMyc-PCR Mycoplasma Detection Kit (2G) is capable of detecting all 8 mycoplasma species required by both Chinese and international pharmacopoeias, with a sensitivity of 10 CFU/mL.
