Mycoplasma testing detects contamination by mycoplasma organisms (the smallest self-replicating bacteria) which can compromise cell cultures, alter experimental results and pose a safety risk in biological products. Regulatory authorities require mycoplasma testing at defined stages of biopharmaceutical manufacturing.
RSSL offers 48 hour and 5 day mycoplasma testing results using qPCR technology. Results are received significantly faster than traditional culture-based methods which can take 28 days.
Our qPCR mycoplasma detection method is fully aligned with European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) Chapter 2.6.7 and United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Chapter <63> ensuring global regulatory acceptance.
Yes. Our service is highly versatile, supporting testing across cell lysates, culture supernatants, bulk drug substance, final drug product, viral vectors and other biological matrices at any stage of the product lifecycle.
