Mycobacteria DNA Detection Kit

MycoSHENTEK^® Mycobacteria DNA Detection Kit is used, together with MycoSHENTEKTM Mycobacteria DNA Extraction Kit, to qualitatively determine whether there is Mycobacteria contamination in cells, cell culture-derived biologicals, etc., using real-time qPCR techonology. The integrated system has been fully validated at a detection limit of 10-100 CFU/mL to detect more than 100 different Mycobacteria species. The system contains dUTP, and if used with the UNG enzyme to prevent contamination and eliminate carry-over contamination Internal Control (IC) can be added to a PCR amplification reaction mixture to evaluate whether a test sample inhibits the amplification reaction and may result in false negative results. It can also be added to the sample before extraction to evaluate the extraction efficiency. For extraction information, please refer to MycoSHENTEK^® Mycobacteria DNA Extraction Kit User Guide (Product No.: 1503601).
