I don't see it as Deus ex Machina. Mikey is the only turtle who spends time in the lab on a regular basis aside from Donnie.
Raph is only in the lab when he has reason to be which is whenever everyone else is in there.
Leo only goes into the lab to consult Donnie about things that generally regard the mission at hand and occasionally help out where he can.
Mikey is the only Turtle who actively hangs out with Donnie. And while he doesn't exactly grasp the entirety of what Donnie does. He is able to process and memorize what sort of things Donnie used. And then anything from there is trial and error.
He was able to remember what Donnie had told him during Parasitica.
Mikey making the super retromutagen was a fluke.
and the same thing was here with the antidote.
And while Mikey acts like a idiot much of the time, these moments plus the moments where Mikey was taking charge in Dimention X show that Mikey isn't an idiot so much as he is an Idiot Savant.
