For Mycoplasma elimination.

 

Mycoplasma contamination is a major problem in cell culture in biomedical and biopharmaceutical research, with rates near 15-30%. While there is no method for visual confirmation of mycoplasma, contamination has serious effects on key characteristics and functions of cells, thus compromising any research done with them. Cipro (ciprofloxacin hydrochloride) is the standard antibiotic for rapid and efficient decontamination.
