Abstract
Resazurin Microtiter Assay (REMA) is a simple, rapid, reliable, sensitive, safe and cost-effective measurement of cell viability. Resazurin detects cell viability by converting from a nonfluorescent dye to the highly red fluorescent dye resorufin in response to chemical reduction of growth medium resulting from cell growth (Palomino et al., 2002). The REMA assay can be used as a fluorogenic oxidation-reduction indicator in a variety of cells, including bacteria, yeast and eukaryotes (Silva et al., 2013).
