This paper provides case studies and best practice guidance for validation of an alternative mycoplasma detection assay. It includes an example of completing a user requirement specification (URS) for evaluating an alternative mycoplasma detection assay, validation and implementation. Strategies are also provided to help identify suitable technologies for defined applications. Finally, a framework is given to demonstrate how a validation protocol for an alternative mycoplasma detection assay can be executed to meet the regulatory expectation that the alternative method is equivalent to or better than the current compendial methods.
