Mycoplasma-Off^®

DESINFECTIONSPRAY AGAINST MYCOPLASMA, BACTERIA, VIRUSES & FUNGI

Mycoplasma-Off^® is a new solution for safe disinfection of all laboratory surfaces and apparatus, including clean benches, incubators, work benches, cell storage boxes and liquid nitrogen containers from mycoplasma contamination.

Background

The usual way of contamination is a media spill from a contaminated cell culture during loading and unloading of the cabinet. These spills can contaminate the trays and the water reservoir. Mycoplasma are known to survive a distinct time on smooth surfaces even after the spilled culture medium has dried out. More serious is a contamination of the water tank needed to control the moisture level. Mycoplasma can survive and, as some experts assume, also grow in pure water.
