Description

PurMa™ Mycoplasma Growth Media

PurMa™ Mycoplasma Growth Media is a proprietary combination which provides an excellent environment for various species of mycoplasma to grow.

Nutrition

Mycoplasma has a complex nutritional requirement. This therefore, makes them dependent on external supplies. PurMa™ Mycoplasma Growth Media is ideal for growing different strains. Mycoplasmas have three important features: they are categorized as Mollicutes class, they also possess low GC content, and they basically don’t have cell wall. Additionally, mycoplasma has a simplified metabolic pathway and therefore it is a hard to grow this organism, especially under laboratory conditions.

Mycoplasma Detection

PurMa™ Mycoplasma Growth Media is also used for detecting the exact strain of contaminating mycoplasma.

The best tool for evaluating  the presence of mycoplasma in any liquid such as media is by using the PCR method. The mycoplasma agar bcan also be used by growing mycoplasma and counting mycoplasma fried egg” shape colonies.

  • Initially,  Incubate the contaminated samples of media, FBS or cell line in 5 ml of PurMa™ MycoGrowth media (liquid).  The condition must be anaerobic while shaking.
  • Pipet 100 µl of the media on an PurMa™ MycoAgar plate.
  • After three days individual fried egg structure will start to show up.
  • Pick up several colonies and grow them in PurMa™ MycoGrowth liquid media.
  • Use PurMa™ Mycoplasma PCR Detection kit (Cat#: P5M011404) to amplify the fragment.
  • Have the PCR reaction cleaned and sent for sequencing.
  • The 230bp PCR fragment resulted from our kit will clearly determine the strain of your contaminant.

Special Features

  • Easy -to- Use
  • Is an excellent tool to determine your exact mycoplasma contamination.
  • Contains a proprietary formulation which maximizes the growth of all known mycoplasmas.
  • Rigorously tested for bacteria, endotoxin, and mold.
  • Free of all mycoplasmas inhibiting growth elements.

    Review: I have worked directly with PurMa biologics on a number of projects ongoing in my lab. I find the media and the specialty Lipid Depleted Serum to be high quality and very consistent among batches, which is critical to our adipogenesis projects using primary stem cells. Also, the service from PurMa is outstanding for my lab.

    Review: I started my lab using the regular Gibco media components. We have shifted to Purma past 6 months and see no difference in the quality of our cell culture. Simply saying that Purma is cheaper, quicker to deliver and as good as Gibco. The best part was that Purma customized several media for our fish cell lines which was really helpful. Lastly, Seif walked through the customization of media over Zoom, that gave a lot of confidence for using those media solutions.

    Review: Reliable and dependable products. We purchased lipid-depleted FBS (LD-FBS) from PurMa Biologics and it worked great. We cross-checked the lipid content in the serum by GC-MS and Triglyceride assay and as advertised, did not find any lipids in the FBS.
