Thermo Scientific Chemicals Resazurin sodium salt
Description
As indicator pH 3.8 (orange) to 6.5 (dark violet)Resazurin sodium salt acts as a blue non-fluorescent dye used especially in oxidation-reduction indicator of resazurin test for bacteria. It is employed as a fluorogenic oxidation-reduction indicator in a variety of cells, yeast and eukaryotes by flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy and high-throughput screening. Further, it is used to characterize the metabolic activity of mitochnodria. It is also used to assay L-Glutamate and to measure the aerobic biodegradation of organic matter exists in effluents. In addition to this, it acts as an indicator for cell viability in mammalian cell cultures.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
