Description
Distinguishing between live and dead bacteria is very important for investigation of growth control and bacteria death. The Live-Dead bacterial Cytotoxicity Kit provides the ready-to-use reagents for convenient discrimination between live and dead bacteria. The kit utilizes FDA, a cell-permeable green fluorescent dye (Ex/Em = 494/521 nm), to stain live bacteria. Dead bacteria can be easily stained by propidium iodide (PI), a cell non-permeable red fluorescent dye (Ex/Em = 535/615). Stained live and dead bacteria can be visualized by fluorescence microscopy using a band-pass filter.
