Description
  
  Nonfluorescent resazurin, which is reduced by viable cells to  red-fluorescent resorufin, can be used to detect the metabolic activity  of many cell types from bacteria to higher eukaryotes and is a sensitive fluorogenic substrate for fluorometric and UV-spectrophotometric assays of phosphatases. Resazurin is used in the Resazurin Microtiter Assay for rapid detection of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis, in cell viability tests, and to assay mitochondrial functions in vitro.
