In addition to providing scavenging agents that directly remove mycoplasma agents, normal cells are also provided with mycoplasma preventive agents to prevent mycoplasma contamination. It mainly includes the following aspects: reagent prevention (directly added to the cell culture medium), ultra-clean bench prevention (spray), water bath prevention (directly added to the water bath), and cell incubator water tray prevention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is primarily composed of cationic peptide antibiotics, specifically designed to eliminate bacteria, fungi, mycoplasma, and other microorganisms in water baths. Its mechanism of action involves physically breaking down the cell walls of microorganisms and inhibiting the synthesis of enzymes required for their reproduction, ultimately leading to microbial death. As a result, this product does not induce antibiotic resistance. Multiple independent validation tests have shown that this product effectively clears various types of bacteria, fungi, mycoplasma, and other microorganisms. It is especially effective in inhibiting airborne bacteria, fungi, spores, and spore-forming bacteria for up to 7–10 days. It is provided as a 500× concentrated solution and can be added directly to the water bath at the recommended dilution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-table-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec-table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConcentrated liquid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConcentration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500×\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorking Dilution\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1:500 (2 mL per 1 L of water)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 mL treats up to 50 L of bath water\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOpen laboratory water baths\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTreatment Interval\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEvery 7–10 days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-corrosive to stainless steel tanks, heating elements, and fittings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoom temperature.
