Venor®GeM qEP
Mycoplasmas are specifically detected by amplifying a highly conserved rRNA operon, or more specifically, the 16S rRNA coding region in the mycoplasma genome. The mycoplasma-specific amplification is detected at 520 nm (FAM™ channel).The kit includes primer and FAM™ labeled probes which allow the specific detection of all Mollicutes species so far described as contaminants of cell cultures and media components. Eukaryotic DNA is not amplified by this primer/probe system. False negative results due to PCR inhibitors or improper DNA extraction are detected by the internal amplification control which can be added to the PCR master mix. The amplification of the internal amplification control is detected at 610 nm (HEX™ channel).

Important notes on the use postive controls in the VenorGem™ QEP kit
The Positive Control comes in one vial. After rehydration, this reagent is stable for frequent thawing/freezing cycles. However we strongly recommend that customers use DNase-free pipette tips and a clean surrounding. One bacteria particle contaminating the reagent is able to digest all the DNA during the thawing phase.
Aliquoting the rehydrated Positive Control can help avoid this as long as the following criterion are met: 1. Make aliquots in PCR tubes (they are usually clean, DNase-free, low-binding tubes, low surface area). 2. Never ever use reaction tubes or other larger vials, as they absorb the minute amounts of DNA 3. keep the thawing time short. Freeze asap.

PCR reaction tubes
Optional for process validation and EP 2.6.7 compliant testing:
Internal Control DNA extra (4 vials for 300 µl each of internal amplification control; Cat. No. 11-9905)
