Product Description

Mycoplasma contamination represents one of the major risks in cell culture systems and biopharmaceutical manufacturing, including ATMPs. The European Pharmacopoeia (EP) 2.6.7, the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) <77>, and the Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP) 18 G3 require validated test methods capable of reliably detecting both cultivable and non-cultivable mycoplasma.

100CFU® Mycoplasma Standards were specifically developed to meet these regulatory requirements and are particularly intended for use as an External Positive Control (EPC). Manufactured in accordance with EP 2.6.7 (edition 12.2), the standards are non-infectious and safe to handle. After reconstitution, defined quantities of the standard are spiked into the respective product or sample matrix to enable robust assessment of assay performance under routine conditions and to support Limit of Detection (LOD) determination.

Application-Specific Relevance

Spiroplasma citri belongs to the genus Spiroplasma and is phylogenetically distinct from classical mycoplasma species. It is particularly relevant for manufacturing processes involving insect or plant cell lines. The 100CFU® Spiroplasma citri standard supports matrix-specific assessment of potential contamination risks in non-mammalian expression systems.
