Description
PurMa™ Mycoplasma Treatment Kit (MTK) (100X) is a valuable tool for eliminating mycoplasma from live cells.
Important Note
Completing the eradication of mycoplasma from a contaminated cell line is laborious, time consuming as well as expensive. The procedure might also cause more contamination. So, we strongly recommend disposing of the contaminated cell line and starting a new culture if possible. This, however, might not be possible due to high value cell lines such as monoclonal antibodies or stable cell lines.
Feeder Cells
During the eradication process, fresh spleen cells of a healthy mouse are needed. Before starting the process:
Isolate the spleen cells from a healthy adult mouse.
Resuspend in 10 ml media of choice containing 20% FBS in a 15ml snap tube and place in 37°C CO2 incubator.
For detailed procedure regarding the isolating spleen cells, click here: Detailed Procedure
before you start
- Decontaminate your CO2 incubator, Hood, and benches before starting the procedure, otherwise in no time, the contamination will be back into your cultured cells.
- Use unopened media bottles and fresh FBS.
- During the following mentioned procedure and after that, wear mask at all times while you work in cell culture lab.
- Spray your gloves, bench, hood with PurMa™ Mycospray (1X) (Cat#: P5M010405) before and after work. PurMaTM Mycospray (1X) instantly eliminates/ deactivates mycoplasma.

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.
