active against mycoplasmas.


Benefits

Large spectrum -
Also active at low concentrations on a broad range of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria.
Rapid -
Plasmocin™ eliminates mycoplasma in as little as 2 weeks. Plasmocin™ can also be used as routine addition to the cell culture medium to prevent mycoplasma contamination.
Plasmocin™ Treatment
