How good is an established mycoplasma test really? International proficiency tests, such as the one carried out by Minerva Biolabs, provide answers. These show which methods perform reliably in practice.


In our new blog article, we explain why regular comparative studies are a key building block for quality and trust in mycoplasma testing - and what this means for the development and approval of biopharmaceutical products.
