Description

Description: AAT Bioquest's MycoLight™ Rapid Fluorescence Gram-Positive Bacteria Staining Kit provides a novel one-step fluorescence assay for the determination of gram sign in living bacteria. The gram stain is an important and widely used method for the taxonomic classification of bacteria in clinical and research settings. The original method involves quite a few steps like heat fixation, two-steps staining protocol, alcohol extraction and counterstaining. These steps can create inconsistent staining. AAT Bioquest's one-step kit overcomes the existing problems by eliminating the labor-intensive steps. The kit uses a fluorescently labeled Concanavalin A (ConA), which is a lectin that selectively binds to N-acetyl glucosamine exposed on the surface of gram-positive bacteria. When gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria are stained with the fluorescently labeled ConA conjugate, only gram-positive bacteria fluoresce red. Stained bacteria can be monitored fluorimeterically. Our kit is robust and convenient since the fluorescently labeled ConA conjugate used in our kit demonstrates higher brightness and photo stability over other existing dyes.
