The MycoFog™ system is an easy to use, hands free method of disinfecting tissue culture isolators and incubators, especially for Mycoplasma sp. contamination. MycoFog™ is a valuable tool for laboratories that need to maintain a clean and contaminant-free environment. The instrument is particularly useful for laboratories that work with tissue- and cell-culture controlled environment equipment including isolators, incubators, glove boxes, and anaerobic or hypoxic chambers.

The biological indicators (BIs) are self-contained vials of spores of Geobacillus stearothermophilus + media. The BIs are placed in key locations throughout the incubator during the biodecontamination cycle. At the end of the cycle the BIs are processed and incubated along with a control BI that has NOT been exposed to the cycle. After 24 hours, the BIs are inspected for color change, the absence of which indicates killing of the spores. See “Validation” on References page.
Catalog #MF-300 MycoFog Fogger Instrument
The Biodecontamination Fogger is a battery-powered piezo-driven nebulizing instrument that creates the hydrogen peroxide fog that biodecontaminates your incubator.
By regularly using MycoFog™, you can help to prevent the spread of Mycoplasma and other contaminants in your lab and protect your cell cultures. Labs that need a fast, simple, and cost-effective way to decontaminate their cell culture incubators will find our product an indispensable adjunct to their contamination control protocol.

The Cost of Cell Culture Contamination
Cell culture is expensive. But the cost of contamination of cell culture can be exorbitant. Sometimes the offenders are overt, causing media to turn opaque and milky or cells to suddenly become bespeckled, and you can cut your losses and start fresh. Other times, mycoplasma can run amok for months, invisible and odious, causing experiments to go haywire. A few years ago, researchers estimated that mycoplasma had the potential to affect hundreds of millions of dollars of NIH-funded research. And then there is contamination hiding in plain sight—misidentified cell lines, able to jeopardize years of experiments.
FDA Adds Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide as Established Sterilization Method for Medical Devices
Issued in early January, the FDA’s revised Guidance document, “Submission and Review of Sterility Information in Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions for Devices Labeled as Sterile,” updates information regarding recommended sterilization methods for medical devices deemed sterile. In addition to traditional methods of sterilization, such as steam, dry heat, ethylene oxide (EO), and radiation, the updated Guidance now includes H2O2 as a Category A sterilization method.
