What are inhibitors of the MycoAlert® Mycoplasma Detection Kit

The main inhibitors of the MycoAlert® Reaction would be things that affect the luciferase detection. Agents which potentially quench the light signal include high levels of salt, EDTA and other chelating agents, very high levels of sera,...

Is the classical Lucetta® Luminometer compatible with MycoAlert® PLUS Assay?

Yes. You can use the MycoAlert® mode of the classical Lucetta® Luminometer AAL-1001 for running MycoAlert® PLUS Assay. However, as the MycoAlert® mode was programmed based on standard MycoAlert® Assay and has not be adapted...

Why can’t I obtain a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for a MycoAlert®/MycoAlert® PLUS/ToxiLight®/ViaLight® Kit via your Webpage-tool?

Lonza’s luminescent assays (including MycoAlert® Mycoplasma detection assay, MycoAlert® PLUS Mycoplasma detection assay, MycoAlert® Control set, ToxiLight® Non-Destructive Cytotoxicity Assay, and ViaLight® Plus Cell Proliferation...

Is it possible to quantify the mycoplasma with the MycoAlert® Mycoplasma Detection Assay?

No, the MycoAlert® Mycoplasma Detection Assay (as well as the MycoAlert® PLUS Mycoplasma Detection Assay) is not quantitative; it has been designed to give a simple Yes or No answer, pertaining to the presence of Mycoplasma.

What temperature should the MycoAlert® Assay be run at?

Optimal assay working temperature for all components is 18°C-22°C (for MycoAlert® Assay) and 20-22°C (for MycoAlert® PLUS Assay). In case room temperature significantly deviates from this optimal temperature range, it is recommended to use...

Do bacteria lead to false positive MycoAlert® Results?

...is characterized by rapid appearance of turbidity in cell culture media. One of the dangers of mycoplasma infection is that they do not produce turbidity, hence the need for a test such as the MycoAlert® Assay....

Does the MycoAlert® Assay recognize the whole spectrum of mycoplasma?

The mycoplasma specific metabolism detected by the MycoAlert® Assay is present in all members of the mollicute family (Mycoplasma, Acholeplasma, Entomoplasma and Spiroplasma) except Ureaplasma (which are no usual suspects in cell culture). 95...

When should I use the MycoAlert® Assay Control Set?

The positive control should be always included as reference for a positive signal. It serves as control for the performance of the MycoAlert® Assay and the MycoAlert® PLUS Assay and the luminescence measurement.

For Lonza’s MycoAlert® Mycoplasma Detection Assays is it possible to convert the B/A value of positive control included in the MycoAlert® Assay Control Set to CFU of mycoplasma?

The MycoAlert® and MycoAlert® PLUS Assay are not quantitative so you cannot relate the ratio to an actual value. Different mycoplasma species will give different ratios due to different levels of expression of the enzymes we measure...

Do you have recommendations for the type of samples used for the MycoAlert® Mycoplasma Detection Kit and the MycoAlert® PLUS Mycoplasma Detection Kit? And do you have recommendations related to sample storage?

The MycoAlert® Mycoplasma Detection Kit and the MycoAlert® PLUS Mycoplasma Assay require the use of cell free supernatant only! Cells MUST be removed at 200xg for 5 mins.For optimal assay performance, supernatant should be tested...
