Mycoplasmas belong to the bacteria class of Mollicutes and are a common source of contamination in biopharmaceutical processing. Traditional tests lack accuracy, because some bacteria in this class are hard to cultivate. Current test methods are cumbersome, requiring cell cultures that take 28 days. PCR tests reduce this time to a few hours only.

The MycoTOOL Real-Time PCR Kit is a mycoplasma test that reduces testing time to hours instead of days and can be used to replace the cell culture assay. Based on real-time PCR technology, this test helps improve efficiency and quality in the manufacturing process.

Join this FREE webinar with Roche to learn more about their Mycoplasma testing in Real-Time PCR format as well as learning how to validate mycoplasma testing as release test. Inga Böll will share the results of Roche's Pharma validation of the Real-Time PCR assay as well as her insights into how their method is completely automated leading to high throughput and consistent sample outcome.
