Microbiological Testing
Microbiological analysis is required and necessary
for contamination detection and maintaining
high-quality standards. Healthcare facilities,
prisons, food handlers and restaurants,
laboratories, blood processing centers, and other
industries benefit from environmental monitoring,
water tests, and other test methods. Microbial
testing is the first line of defense against
disease-causing bacteria and toxins and
supporting public health.
Endotoxin Test
Bacterial Endotoxin Test (BET), also known as the
Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) test is an in-vitro
assay for the detection and quantitation of bacterial
endotoxins. Bacterial endotoxin is a pyrogenic
component found in the cell wall of gram-negative
bacteria. Pyrogenic substance can induce fever when
injected into the blood or cerebrospinal fluid. Hence, it
is always important to test for endotoxin contamination
especially for humans and animals parenteral drugs,
biological products and medical devices.
Cytonex provides endotoxin testing using the gel clot method. Detection level of the endotoxin can be up to 0.06 EU/ml.

Mycoplasma Test
Mycoplasma, the smallest and simplest self-replicating
prokaryotic organism, that frequently contaminate cell
cultures. Due to their small size, they can pass through
filters and remain invisible to the naked eye and
undetectable by light microscopy. However,
contamination of cell culture by mycoplasmas can
have disastrous effects on eukaryotic cells as they can
modify many aspects of cellular functions such as
proliferation, protein synthesis, etc. Hence,
mycoplasma testing is an essential quality control
requirement to ensure the biotechnology products
produced are safe and reliable.
Cytonex provides mycoplasma testing using the PCR method, which provides results within a few hours. The assay used allows detection of various mycoplasma species, which includes M. fermentans, M. hyorhinis, M. arginini, M. orale, M. salivarium, M. hominis, M. pulmonis, M. arthritidis, M. bovis, M. pneumoniae, M. pirum and M. capricolum, as well as Acholeplasma and Spiroplasma species, with high sensitivity and specificity.
