Mycoplasma testing is essential in the field of biotechnology and pharmaceuticals. There are different types of products available in the market for mycoplasma testing. The major products can be categorized into two types - kits and services.
Kits are self-contained tools that allow researchers to test for mycoplasma contamination on their own. These kits have all the necessary reagents and instructions to perform the test. The most common types of kits are polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based kits, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based kits, and microbiological-based kits. PCR kits are highly sensitive and specific but require specialized equipment. ELISA kits are easier to use as they don't need specialized equipment but are less sensitive than PCR. Microbiological kits involve detecting mycoplasma growth directly but take longer time to give results.
Along with kits, various companies offer mycoplasma testing as services where researchers can send their samples to specialized testing facilities. The advantage of services is that researchers do not need to invest in equipment or training. Experienced technicians at the service facilities perform different types of tests like PCR, ELISA, and microbiological assays and provide reports. However, there can be delays in getting results as samples need to be shipped. Kits allow for faster testing but require proper infrastructure. Both products have their advantages in different situations depending on individual lab requirements and capacities.
