BioMycoX® Mycoplasma Elimination Kit
The BioMycoX® Mycoplasma Elimination kit has been developed to quickly and completely eliminate mycoplasma contamination from cell cultures. Current methods for the inactivation or elimination of mycoplasma in cell cultures are antibiotic-based. Antibiotic therapies in particular do not always result in a successful and permanent elimination of the contaminants. Moreover antibiotics exhibit cytotoxic properties in that they are capable of modifying the metabolism of eukaryotic cells and promote the development of resistant mycoplasma strains.
BioMycoX® Mycoplasma Elimination Kit is non-antibiotic product that can permanently eliminate mycoplasma contamination in cell culture.

Mycoplasma Elimination
The potential effects of mycoplasma contamination in cell culture are major concern in research, diagnostics, and production of biological products. Mycoplasma contamination decreases the quantity of product produced and its quality and results in inconsistency and lack of reproducibility of the experiment.
The BioMycoX® Mycoplasma Elimination Reagent is a combination of biological agents that reliably and completely eliminate mycoplasma contamination.
Compared with other elimination products, the BioMycoX® Mycoplasma Elimination kit is more successful and does not cause any changes in normal cell characteristics. The BioMycoX® Mycoplasma Elimination Kit is suitable for the elimination of Mollicutes and related organisms (Mycoplasma, Acholeplasma, Ureaplasma, Spiroplasma, and Entomoplasma) in cell and virus cultures.
