Mycoplasma
Wednesday, July 12th, 2006Wotcha folks, long time no see.
I’m going to cheat here, and link to a piece I’ve just written elsewhere, because it fits well under Tools of the Trade.
The word alone chills the hearts of experienced cell biologists. And when, a couple of months back, someone upstairs was getting strange results from their cell-based assays, the Boss came to me and asked,
‘What do you know about mycoplasma?’. The icy black hand of dread gripped me and I spent the rest of the day trying to find a supplier for a mycoplasma detection kit in Australia.
Please forgive me for this blatant self-plagiarism.
