Mycoplasma contamination remains a persistent challenge in cell culture laboratories globally. These minute, wall-less prokaryotes can stealthily infiltrate cultures by bypassing standard ...

Spongiform contamination dominated the 90s, resulting in a switch from animal-originated media to plant peptone-derived cell culture media. This change, however, caused the reappearance of ...

This image highlights the various challenges in maintaining cell culture integrity, including contamination from bacteria, viruses, mycoplasmas, and chemicals. It also emphasizes the importance of ...

By measuring ultraviolet (UV) light absorbance of cell culture fluids and utilising machine learning to recognise light absorption patterns associated with microbial contamination, this ...

Cell cross-contamination in cell cultures is a common problem during cell culturing and use. Contamination invalidates research results, compromises the comparison of results between laboratories, ...

January 1, 1970 (Vol. , No. ) Nicholas Miliaras, Ph.D. ATCC Cell line contamination and/or misidentification has been a persistent issue in life science research over the years and has led to ...

One type of microbe, mycoplasma, has proven particularly pesky in cell-culture studies, contaminating labs and cultures and affecting resultant data. In this interview with Diana, we get introduced to ...

Mycoplasma is a common bacterial contaminator in cell culture laboratories. Mycoplasma contamination has been shown to induce cellular changes, e.g. susceptibility to drugs, which could render any ...
