Dojindo Molecular Technologies Inc -Bacstain- Bacterial Viability Detection Kit-CTC/DAPI is used to measure the ratio of bacteria with respiratory activity to total bacteria on the analysis of the fluorescent images from each stain set

Supplier: Dojindo Molecular Technologies Inc BS0910

-Bacstain- Bacterial Viability Detection Kits are a series of products for fluorescent double-staining of bacteria. By combining different types of fluorescent stains, staining images can be acquired for each index (membrane impairment, respiratory activity, and esterase activity). Bacterial viability is generally assessed by colony formation in the nutrient-agar medium. However, this requires a long culturing time, and it is hard to recognize the growth of viable but nonculturable bacteria. -Bacstain- Bacterial Viability Detection Kit-CTC/DAPI uses the respiratory activity of bacteria as an index. CTC hence selectively stains active bacteria. DAPI permeates into bacteria to stain nucleic acids regardless of membrane damage. This kit can be used to measure the ratio of bacteria with respiratory activity to total bacteria. Dojindo offers various reagents for bacteria research.
