Mynox®Gold Mycoplasma Detection

Mynox®Gold - the most effective reagent against mycoplasma

2 in 1 - Double Strength

Mynox®Gold represents the further development of the classical Mynox®, which was known for a very high elimination efficiency and low cytotoxicity Mynox®Gold is a combination of a standard antibiotic and a biological reagent. One application comprises of 4 vials, a starter treatment and three main treatments. The starter treatment kills most of the mycoplasma particles without harming the cells. The main treatment kills all remaining mycoplasma leading to a permanent eradication with efficiency rates up to 100 %. One application can be used to cure one cell culture permanently from mycoplasma burden.

Format

Mynox®Gold is a sterile, ready-to-use solution, aliquoted per tube for single use. Store the original container at temperatures of +2 to + 8°C.

Benefits

• No cytotoxicity - Cytotoxicity is basically not detectable for most cell types. Most cells do not show any changes in morphology during treatment
• Highly effective - The ratio for a permanent eradication is close to 100%
• Universal for cells - Mynox®Gold can be used for any cell type without restriction. Only cells harboring Chlamydia or other bacteria as host systems can not be treated. The antibiotic portion of the product might affect the integrated microorganisms
• Universal for Mycoplasma - Any type of microorganisms belonging to the group of Mollicutes, including the Mycoplasma, Spiroplasma, Acholeplasma, Ureaplasma, etc. can be successfully treated with Mynox®Gold
• Low resistance risk - Due to the combination of an antibiotic and a reagent showing a biophysical mode of action directly killing the mycoplasma, formation of resistances against Mynox®Gold is most unlikely
• Format - Mynox®Gold contains 1 vial for the starter treatment and 3 vials for the main treatment. Each vial contains 500µl as a sterile, ready-to-use solution
• Interoperable - Mynox®Gold can be used with antibiotic selection agents, for example G418, Blastocyclin, and Hygromycin. It also does not interfere with killer genes turned on by Tetramycin or Doxycyclin
