STAT-Myco™ Mycoplasma Testing
Uncommonly fast results to identify an all-too-common contaminant.
Resistant to antibiotics and common among shared cell culture facilities, undetected propagation of Mycoplasma can spread to other cultures and has the potential further disseminated via the interchange of cell lines among laboratories. IDEXX BioAnalytics STAT-Myco™ testing can detect as few as 1-10 organisms of all species of Mycoplasma known to infect cell cultures as well as numerous Acoleplasma spp.

h-IMPACT™ Human Pathogen Screening
Screen against human pathogens to protect your most valuable asset: your people.
Contamination of cell lines and tumors with human pathogens poses significant health risks to personnel and can introduce unwanted variables to your research. Although human viruses have a low incidence rate in laboratory materials, they can be pernicious in their ability to infect and destroy the growth and performance of cell lines, obliterating data integrity.
