Description
MycAwayTM Mycoplasma Real-time qPCR Detection Kit (2G) is a product which can qualitative detect the mycoplasma contamination in the raw materials, cell bank, virus seeds, virual or cell harvesting solution and cells used in clinical treatment, etc. The kit uses the Taqman fluorescent probe (which included FAM and CY5) and the Multiple polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tools to detect the target and internal control separately. It covered over 183 species of the Mollicutes DNA, the specificity, detection limit and robustness of this kit are validated according to EP2.6.7 which with high sensitivity, specificity, efficiency and safety. The detection limit is equals to and below 10 CFU/mL.
This product can be used in combination with Magnetic Residual DNA Sample Preparation Kit (Cat#18461ES/18469) which using the manual extracted method for the nucleic acid extraction. (Please note, the kits which included Cat#18461ES and Cat#40619ES are full validated, please contact our technical support for detailed validation information). After the samples are pre-treated to remove the interference impurities and obtain purified nucleic acid, then a qPCR reaction perform by the Real Time PCR amplifier and the fluorescence signal of the probe will be collected and analyzed.
Features
Broad Detection Range: Optimized TaqMan probes detect up to 183 mycoplasma species.
Fast & Convenient: Sample prep and testing completed in under 3 hours, versus 28 days for culture(Alternative to the standard 28-day culture test).
High Sensitivity: Detects as low as 10 CFU/mL, making it a reliable alternative to culture methods.
High Specificity: 16S rRNA-based primers and probes avoid cross-reactivity with related species such as Clostridium and Sesamum.
Safe to Use: Non-infectious positive control eliminates contamination risk.
Strong Anti-Interference: Internal control (IC) detects sample inhibition or reaction errors, reducing false negatives.
Regulatory Compliance: Validated according to the requirements of EP2.6.7, JP G3 and USP 63 pharmacopoeia, in line with the standards of international authorities.

2. Specificity
Figure 2. Specificity validation.
(A). Nine common sample matrices and the kit’s DNA dilution buffer showed no mycoplasma detection in the target channel (FAM, blue). Normal FAM signal was observed only when Mycoplasma fermentans was added to a sample matrix.
(B). DNA from 14 non-Mycoplasmatales strains and 6 commonly used biopharmaceutical cell lines showed no target channel amplification. In all cases, the internal control channel (Cy5, green) amplified normally.
3. Limit of Detection (LOD): >95% detection rate.
Figure 3. Limit of detection (LOD) test.
Ten mycoplasma standard strains (10 CFU/mL), sourced from German MB, were tested following kit instructions for nucleic acid extraction(Cat#18461) and detection kit(Cat#40619). Mycoplasma samples were tested three times with 8 replicates each. Each run included NCS (negative control solution) and NTC (no template control).
When controls passed, at least 23 out of 24 replicates tested positive for each strain.
