While bacteria, fungi, Mycoplasma and viruses are the most common forms of cell culture contamination, other types of contamination can occur (Table 1). These include parasites, prions, chemical ...

When carrying out cell culture in the lab, contamination from microbial agents such as bacteria and fungus can occur and have disastrous effects on ongoing experiments and cell expansion plans.

On the frontline of the fight against cell culture contamination Mycoplasma and other bacterial contaminations have ruined many cell culture experiments.

It is estimated that more than 15 % of cell culture studies are based on misidentified or cross-contaminated cell lines, and the incidences of biological contamination are expected to be even more.

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created nanostructured alumina surfaces which are strongly antibacterial but can be used to culture cells. They found that anodic porous alumina ...

Bacterial Cell Culture Market is segmented into Application, Product Type and End-user for the analysis of the market. Growing demand for antibiotics and vaccines, as well as the growing ...

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 ...

Ensuring cell culture sterility is essential in small and large bioprocesses. Microbial contamination from bacteria, viruses, and fungi can spread among experiments and workflows—wasting time, ...

In this interview with Diana Patzelt, we discuss mycoplasma contamination, how it affects cell-culture studies and how to detect it.

We studied the incidence of bacterial contamination in autologous peripheral blood progenitor cell transplants in two of the bench processing steps, as well as the repercussions in the post ...
