Features

BactoView™ Dead Stains are novel DNA binding dyes for live/dead discrimination in bacteria. These bright fluorogenic DNA binding dyes are cell membrane-impermeant, so they selectively stain dead bacteria with compromised cell membranes without the need to wash after staining.

  • Highly-selective dead cell stains for bacteria cultures
  • Superior live/dead differentiation for gram-positive strains than traditional dyes
  • Also provide excellent results in gram-negative strains
  • Quick 30-minute staining, no wash required
  • Available in 7 colors from green to near-IR

Highly-Selective Dead Cell Staining for Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Strains

Traditional vital nucleic acid dyes like propidium iodide or ethidium homodimer are efficiently excluded from live gram-negative bacteria but are taken up by live gram-positive bacteria, resulting in high background in live cells and poor live/dead discrimination. BactoView™ Dead Stains have novel chemical structures that are efficiently excluded from both gram-positive and gram-negative strains, for highly selective live/dead discrimination. In addition to staining dead bacteria, BactoView™ Dead Stains also stain Bacillus subtilis endospores, but with dimmer fluorescence. BactoView™ Dead Stains have low fluorescence until they bind DNA, allowing bright, no-wash staining. The stains are available with a wide selection of emission wavelengths ranging from green to near-infrared, for microscopy or flow cytometry analysis.

Biotium also offers BactoView™ Viability Kits, which include a choice of red or far-red BactoView™ Dead Stain for dead bacteria and BactoView™ Viability Green Counterstain to stain all bacteria. BactoView™ Dead Stains also can be combined with fluorescent Gram stains like our CF® Dye WGA Conjugates.

We also offer BactoView™ Live Green and BactoView™ Live Red for staining live bacteria. Note that BactoView™ Stains cannot be used to distinguish bacteria from eukaryotic cells, because they will stain other cell types as well. For bright and optimized labeling of bacterial endospores, see our BactoSpore™ Bacterial Stains.

For staining mammalian cells, see our NucSpot® Nuclear Stains for live/dead discrimination or nuclear counterstaining of fixed mammalian cells. For live nuclear staining of mammalian cells, see our NucSpot® Live Stains. Also, view Biotium’s Cellular Stains Table for more information on how our dyes stain various organisms.
