A rapid bioluminescent assay for detecting viable mycoplasma contamination in cell-culture supernatants.
The Lonza MycoAlert® PLUS Mycoplasma Detection Kit is a bioluminescent assay for detecting viable mycoplasma in cell-culture samples.
Mycoplasmal enzymes released from the sample react with the MycoAlert PLUS substrate, converting ADP to ATP. The ATP-dependent luminescence signal is measured before and after substrate addition, and the resulting ratio is used to assess contamination.
