Molecular Probes™ LIVE/DEAD™ BacLight™ Bacterial Viability and Counting Kit, for flow cytometry
The LIVE/DEAD™ BacLight™ Bacterial Viability and Counting Kit allows researchers to reliably distinguish and quantitate live and dead bacteria with the aid of a flow cytometer, even in a mixed population containing a range of bacterial types.
Brand: Molecular Probes™ L34856
Description
The LIVE/DEAD™ BacLight™ Bacterial Viability and Counting Kit allows researchers to reliably distinguish and quantitate live and dead bacteria with the aid of a flow cytometer, even in a mixed population containing a range of bacterial types. This kit uses a mixture of two nucleic acid stains - green-fluorescent SYTO™ 9 dye and red-fluorescent propidium iodide - for viability determinations, and a calibrated suspension of microspheres for accurate sample volume measurements.
Any physiological buffer between pH 7.0–8.0, including PBS, can be used to dilute the SYTO dyes for the staining solution.
Specifications
Contains 1 vial SYTO™ 9 nucleic acid stain (200 μL, 3.34 mM in DMSO), 1 vial of propidium iodide (200 μL, 20 mM in DMSO), and 1 vial of a microsphere standard (1.0 mL of 6.0 μm diameter microspheres). Store in refrigerator (2–8°C) and protect from light. |
