Cell Fungal Contamination Detection Kit
Cell Fungal Contamination Detection Kit is a rapid and high-sensitivity fungal screening detection reagent specifically developed for cell culture systems. It can accurately detect common fungal and yeast contamination in cell culture media, cell suspensions, culture reagents, and environmental swab samples, covering Candida, Aspergillus, Penicillium, yeast, and other high-frequency contaminating strains in cell culture.
Fungal contamination in cell culture has strong concealment, fast spread speed, and wide contamination range. Early stages are difficult to observe with the naked eye. Once outbreak occurs, it can directly cause entire batch cell scrapping and experimental data invalidation. This kit breaks through the long cycle and high missed detection rate drawbacks of traditional culture methods, relying on specific staining/colorimetric detection systems to quickly identify trace and early hidden fungal contamination, helping laboratories eliminate risks in advance and block cross-contamination.
Product Features
- Rapid Detection, Efficient Results：No need for culture amplification or overnight incubation. Sample processing is simple, completing batch screening in a short time. Compared to traditional fungal culture 3-7 day cycle, detection efficiency is greatly improved.
- High Sensitivity, Early Warning：Can detect trace early fungal contamination invisible to the naked eye, solving the missed detection and delayed detection problems of traditional visual observation, providing early contamination risk warning.
- Strong Specificity, No False Positive Interference：Only specifically recognizes fungi and yeast with no reaction to mammalian cells, bacteria, and culture media impurities. High result recognition with clean background.
- Simple Operation, Zero Threshold：No need for PCR instruments and other professional equipment. Ordinary optical microscope or direct visual interpretation is sufficient. Beginners can quickly master operation, suitable for large-scale daily screening.
- Wide Sample Adaptability：Can directly detect cell supernatant, complete cell samples, culture media stock solutions, PBS wash solutions, consumable swab samples, environmental sedimentation samples, etc.
- Safe and Low Toxicity, Compatible with Live Cell Systems：Detection system is gentle with extremely low impact on cell activity. Short-time detection does not affect cell viability and can be used for live sample screening.
