Rapid detection by transmission electron microscopy of mycoplasma contamination in sera and cell cultures Detecção rápida da contaminação por micoplasmas de soros e culturas celulares por meio da microscopia eletrônica de transmissão

Transmission electon microscopy has been employed for the rapid detection of mycoplasma in sera and cell cultures. High speed centrifugation of sera or low speed centrifugation of cell debris, followed by negative staining of the resuspended pellet, detected mycoplasma contamination more frequently...
