PMAxx Dye, 20 mM in H2O, 100 µL
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.
