Direct qPCR is a sensitive approach to detect Mycoplasma contamination in U937 cell cultures

Abstract Objective We aim to directly detect Mycoplasma DNA in a U937 suspension cell culture without using DNA purification. In order to make Mycoplasma contamination monitoring easier, we optimized a commercially available quantitative PCR (qPCR)-based detection kit. We compared the sensitivity of...
