In cell culture, two main types of fungi may be detected: yeast, which are round to ovular single-cell particles that may form chains; and hyphae, which form long multicellular filaments.

Several different types of microbes can contaminate cell culture, including bacteria, fungi, viruses and Mycoplasma.Some of these, such as mold contamination, can be obvious, and therefore caught ...

He also says that the C1 cell production platform is faster and more productive than more traditional systems. This enables one 2,000-L bioreactor to do the work of a 15,000-L bioreactor.

Abstract. In this study, we used Sartorius Real-time PCR kits for the rapid detection of bacteria, fungi, and mycoplasma to establish that these assays can detect microbial contaminants, even in the ...

Ensuring cell culture sterility is essential in small and large bioprocesses. Microbial contamination from bacteria, viruses, and fungi can spread among experiments and workflows—wasting time, ...

Cell culture is a deliciously inviting hub for bacteria, fungi, and mycoplasmas. However, as our own 'cell-culture sleuth' points out, failing to detect and eliminate contamination can alter all ...

Specifically, our method supports automated cell culture sampling at designated intervals to check for contamination, which reduces manual tasks such as sample extraction, measurement, and analysis.
