100GC® Mycoplasma Standards are purified nucleic acid standards designed as reference material for product-specific validation of PCR-based mycoplasma testing methods.
- Compliant with EP 2.6.7 (12.2) and USP <77>
- Defined concentration of <100 GC/ml
- Suitable for product-specific validation and for use as EPC/EIC
- Optimized for PCR-based applications
Validated mycoplasma testing is required for biopharmaceutical products, cell culture-derived products, and ATMPs according to EP 2.6.7, USP <77>, and JP 18 G3.
With the revision of EP 2.6.7, Edition 12.2, and the introduction of USP <77>, NAT-based mycoplasma testing is supported by the unit genome copies (GC). In addition to the established limit of ≤ 10 CFU/mL, a sensitivity requirement of < 100 GC/mL has been introduced for PCR-based mycoplasma detection.
100GC® Mycoplasma Standards are purified mycoplasma nucleic acid standards designed to meet these regulatory requirements. They are suitable for LOD determination, product-specific validation (“test for inhibitory substances” and “method suitability testing”), and use as external positive control (EPC)/extraction inhibition control (EIC) in NAT-based mycoplasma testing.
Manufactured in accordance with EP 2.6.7 (12.2), the standards support validated mycoplasma detection workflows according to EP 2.6.7, USP <77>, and JP 18 G3.
The exact GC value is provided in the Certificate of Analysis (CoA).
Mycoplasma orale is among the most frequently reported contaminants of human cell lines and is closely associated with human cell culture systems. The 100GC® Mycoplasma orale standard is therefore particularly relevant for manufacturing processes involving human cell substrates and supports matrix-specific assessment of potential contamination risks in human cell culture and vaccine production processes.
