Use of Resorufin for Monitoring Metabolic Activity of Cells under Anaerobic Condition

摘要

A method for identifying a status of at least one cell in a cell culture including resorufin in an anaerobic atmosphere is provided. In the method, the extent of reduction of resorufin in the cell culture to dihyrdoresorufin is measured while the cell culture is maintained in an anaerobic atmosphere. The cell culture may be loaded in microwells of a microfabricated chip positioned in an anaerobic chamber, and the measurement can be based on fluorescence of the cell culture.
