Contamination in Cell Culture Guide

Save on time, money, and effort.

Protect your cells by downloading our comprehensive new guide. This guide reviews:

  • Identifying major cell culture contaminants including bacteria, molds, and yeasts, mycoplasmas, and endotoxins
  • Recognizing sources of biological contaminants including nonsterile supplies, airborne particles, and microorganisms
  • Developing methods to help control cell culture contamination

In the United States alone, losses due to cell culture contamination, other cell lines and mycoplasma cost cell culture users hundreds of millions of dollars annually; this is money that could otherwise be used for additional research.

The information in the Contamination in Cell Culture Guide has been compiled to provide you with the foundation upon which you can build a contamination management program designed to fit your own needs.
