ColorFlux - 1 ml

Description

ColorFlux is a fast, reliable and non-toxic solution for assessing bacterial efflux for your research on antibiotic resistance.

This coloured fluorescent compound quickly accumulates within bacteria as a function of their efflux pump activity.

Simply add ColorFlux to your bacteria and watch them change colour !

ColorFlux staining was shown to reflect the activity of well-characterized efflux pumps from the major facilitator superfamily and ATP-binding cassette families in a variety of Gram+ bacteria:
- NorA, MepA, MepB, PatA, PatB (Staphylococcus aureus & Streptococcus pneumoniae)
- BmrA (Bacillus subtilis)
The list will be updated regularly according to the feedback of users.
