  • Method and apparatus for prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell quantitation
    Patent number: 6673568
    Abstract: This invention describes kits for quantifying viable cells in a sample using fluorescent dyes that can be internalized predominately by viable cells and have fluorescence properties measurably altered when bound to target components. These kits circumvent the need for training personnel in plating, growing and count viable cells, and reduce both the time and the cost required for cellular quantitation according to existing techniques.
