Mycoplasma Contamination of Cell Lines and the Impact on the Development and Manufacture of Biologicals and Pharmaceuticals

This training program will help attendees understand the sources of mycoplasma contamination and how to minimize the occurrence of contamination. The regulatory standards for testing will be described as well as the methods of mycoplasma detection and the resources for testing. At the conclusion of this webinar, attendees will have knowledge of the importance of mycoplasma contamination testing and how to successfully perform the tests in their company’s setting.

Why Should You Attend:

If you use continually passaged cell lines for the production of biologics in a pharmaceutical or biotechnology setting and you do not currently test for mycoplasma contamination, awareness for the need for this testing of contamination should not be ignored or overlooked. It is estimated that 15-35% of continually cultured cell lines are contaminated with mycoplasmas.

Who Will Benefit:

This webinar will benefit those in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries that are using continually passaged cell lines for production of biologics and are not currently testing for mycoplasma contamination.
