PMAxx Dye; 20 mM in H2O; 100 ul

PMAxx Dye is a photoactivatable DNA-binding reagent designed for viability PCR and live/dead nucleic acid differentiation. The dye selectively penetrates membrane-compromised (dead) cells, and upon LED light activation, covalently binds to DNA, preventing its amplification. This enables accurate detection of viable microorganisms in molecular assays.

Key Features:

• Concentration: 20 mM
• Volume: 100 µL
• Solvent: H₂O
• Function: Photoactivatable DNA-binding dye
• Compatibility: Works with PMAxx Photolysis Device and standard viability PCR protocols
• Storage: –20°C, protected from light
• Intended Use: Research Use Only (RUO)

Applications:

• Viability PCR and live/dead nucleic acid differentiation
• Microbial quantification in environmental, food, or water samples
• Molecular biology workflows requiring selective DNA amplification
• Photolysis-based microbial viability studies
