Resazurin (sodium), indicator

Resazurin (Diazoresorcinol) sodium, indicator is a non-toxic, stable, membrane-permeable blue non-fluorescent dye (faintly fluorescent) . Resazurin sodium, indicator is used as a redox indicator, can be reduced to pink, highly fluorescent Resorufin (Ex=530-560 nm, Em=590 nm) in living cells. Resazurin sodium, indicator can be used for the detection of cell viability, toxicity, proliferation, migration and invasion in cells (human, plant and animal, bacterial and fungal) [1][2][3].
