One of the most important, but frequently overlooked, cell culture procedures is testing cultures for microbial contamination, especially mycoplasma. It is critical for every cell culture laboratory to only use cell lines that have been carefully screened for mycoplasma. Fortunately, there is a simple fluorochrome DNA staining test that can detect both mycoplasma and virtually any other prokaryote contaminants. - [Read Mycoplasma Detection Using DNA Staining Protocol]
