LIVE/DEAD™ BacLight™ Bacterial Viability Kit, for microscopy
Description
The LIVE/DEAD BacLight Bacterial Viability Kit *for microscopy* is a convenient and easy-to-use kit for monitoring the viability of bacterial populations as a function of the membrane integrity of the cell. Cells with a compromised membrane that are considered to be dead or dying will stain red, whereas cells with an intact membrane will stain green.
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
