Sartorius appoints internationally experienced laboratory manager to join its top management team

Realtime PCR for the rapid detection of mycoplasma contamination

Mycoplasma are among the world’s smallest bacteria capable of independent reproduction. They belong to the class of Mollicutes and have a very slow and parasitic growth. They cause many infections in animals and plants. Mycoplasma are very difficult to control as they lack the bacterial cell wall, which is the main point of attack for many antibiotics. For this reason, a complete retention with conventional cell structure sterile filters (0.2 μm pore size) is not possible.....
