Guarding cells from mycoplasma contamination requires periodical testing to make sure the cells are free of mycoplasma contamination and are reliable for experiments. MycoGuard Mycoplasma PCR Detection Kit from GeneCopoeia is a quick, simple and sensitive PCR-based mycoplasma detection kit designed to serve such a purpose.

The kit contains an optimised MycoGuard master mix, ultrapure water and a positive control. The primers in the master mix are highly specific to the conserved rDNA region in the mycoplasma genomes and can detect all well-known mycoplasma genera, including the commonly encountered ones in cell cultures, such as M. arginini, M. arthritidis, M. bovis, M. fermentans, M. genitalium, M. hominis, M. hyorhinis, M. neurolyticum, M. orale, M. pirum, M. pneumoniae, M. pulmonis, M. salivarium and U. urealyticum.

Mycoplasma positive samples can be easily recognised by a distinctive PCR product ranging in size from 150 to 400 bp.
