Resazurin sodium

Synonyms: Diazoresorcinol sodium

Resazurin sodium is a non-toxic, stable redox indicator that targets bacterial activity through its membrane-permeable properties. It serves as a vital tool for assessing cell viability, proliferation, and toxicity in various cell types, including human, plant, animal, bacterial, and fungal cells. Upon reduction, Resazurin sodium transforms into Resorufin, a highly fluorescent compound, enabling sensitive detection and quantification of cellular processes under fluorescent microscopy or spectrophotometry.

Poly-L-lysine hydrochloride

Poly-L-lysine hydrochloride is a cationic polymer that functions as a bacterial inhibitor by enhancing cell adhesion through electrostatic interactions with negatively charged cell membranes. It promotes liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) at low concentrations while inhibiting LLPS at elevated concentrations, making it a versatile tool for cell culture applications. This reagent is particularly useful in studies involving bacterial attachment mechanisms and cell substrate interactions.
