Mycoplasma Testing

Is your cell bank free of Mycoplasma?

Regulations dictate that each bulk harvest of a bioreactor run is tested for the absence of Mycoplasma.  

 

What products should be tested?

Therapeutic products for both human and animal use are required to be tested for the presence of mycoplasma:

  • Cell lines/banks
  • Virus seeds
  • Fermented samples
  • Crude harvests
  • Bulk vaccines
  • Purified biological products for human use
