Send Validation GuideMycoplasma contamination is a critical risk in cell culture, biopharmaceutical manufacturing, and advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs). For product release, EP 2.6.7 and USP <77> require a validated mycoplasma detection method.
Venor® Mycoplasma qPCR is a real-time PCR assay for the rapid, sensitive, and reliable detection of mycoplasma contamination in cell cultures, cell culture-derived biologicals, and Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs).
The assay is validated according to EP 2.6.7 (12.2), USP <77>, and in compliance with ICH Q2(R2), meeting criteria for specificity, robustness, and sensitivity with detection limits of ≤ 10 CFU/ml and < 100 GC/ml.
Mycoplasmas are specifically detected by amplifying the highly conserved 16S rRNA coding region of the mycoplasma genome. This enables broad and reliable detection of Mollicutes, including the species listed in the EP and USP. An integrated reverse transcription step allows the assay to detect both mycoplasma DNA and RNA, significantly increasing analytical sensitivity and supporting the detection of low-level contamination.
The kit includes a positive control and an internal control. The external positive control (EPC) / extraction inhibition control (EIC) is not included in the kit. For this purpose, we recommend using 100GC®, 10CFU®, or 100CFU® Mycoplasma Standards.
For product-specific validation (“test for inhibitory substances” or “method suitability test”), we recommend using 100GC® or 10CFU® Mycoplasma Standards.
The kit is provided with comprehensive manufacturer validation data. For sample preparation, we recommend Venor® Mycoplasma Extraction, as it has been validated in combination with Venor® Mycoplasma qPCR.
