Viability stain

A viability stain is a special dye used in laboratories to distinguish live cells from dead ones. When applied, the stain penetrates and colors dead cells due to their compromised membranes, while live cells with intact membranes remain unstained or differently colored. This helps researchers quickly assess cell health, viability, and the effectiveness of treatments or experiments. It’s a valuable tool in biology, medicine, and research for evaluating cell populations accurately.
