BactoSpore™ colorant pour membranes 500X in EtOH
BactoSpore™
BactoSpore™ 485/500 membrane stain is a green fluorescent lipophilic membrane dye for the FITC channel.
- Bacterial Stain
- For membrane staining in the FITC channel
- Optimised for staining endospores, unlike other bacterial detection reagents
- Validated for microscopy or flow cytometry
- Colors Green, Orange
BactoSpore™ stains are fluorescent dyes optimised for staining endospores. The dyes also stain both live and dead bacteria of gram-positive and gram-negative strains. In B. subtilis, the dyes stain both vegetative cells and endospores and have been validated for detection by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry.
Bacterial endospores are tough dormant structures formed by certain strains of bacteria including Bacillus and Clostridium species in response to nutrient deprivation and other stressors. Endospore formation allows these bacteria to survive in a non-replicative state until growth conditions improve, at which point the spores can germinate to allow vegetative cell replication.
Use BactoSpore™ 488/540 for nucleic acid staining in the FITC or PE channel.
