Biofilms are biological aggregates consisting of microorganisms and extracellular polysaccharides that can exist in many environments. Bacterial contamination in medical devices, and infectious diseases such as caries and periodontal disease, are attributed to biofilms. The microorganisms in biofilms are highly resistant to antibiotics. Therefore, research into medicines and food ingredients that have anti-biofilm activities is a growing area. The Biofilm Viability Assay Kit measures the metabolic activity of bacteria in the biofilm to evaluate the bactericidal effect of drugs. This kit utilizes the WST reduction reaction to measure the metabolic activity of the bacteria. As the biofilm is formed on a peg layer on the lid of a microplate, multiple samples can be easily washed and measured at once without having to peel off the biofilm for each process. Dojindo offers various reagents for bacteria research. (https://www.dojindo.com/observe-bacteria-from-various-parameters/)
