A Full Spectrum Of Compliant, Ready-To-Use Mycoplasma Media With An Extended Shelf Life

milliporesigma mycoplasma familly

As the only major supplier worldwide, we offer all three media to test for Mycoplasma according to EP 2.6.7 and USP 63 as both broth and agar plates. These ready-to-use Friis, Frey, and Hayflick culture media help to make the cumbersome compendial procedures of testing cell cultures, raw materials, intermediates, and final products for mycoplasmas easier.

Due to their ingredients, Mycoplasma media generally have far shorter shelf lives than most other culture media used in microbiological quality control. However, Merck has recently been able to extend the shelf lives of its Mycoplasma media to 4 months for the agar plates and 6 months for the broths. All media to test for mycoplasmas are produced at regular intervals in GMP manufacturing facilities and come with lot-specific certificates of analyses.
