Abstract
The europium chelate of 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-thienyl)-1,3-butanedione (thenoyl-trifluoroacetone; TTA) is firmly bound to microorganisms. It fluoresces brightly at 613 nm with activation at 340 nm. Cells may be stained with 10
−3
m
chelate in 50% ethyl alcohol, followed by washing with 50% ethyl alcohol. Equal or better stains are produced with 10
−3
m
aqueous europium salt, water wash, and 10
−2
m
aqueous TTA. A noncomplexing buffer should be used to maintain the
p
H at 6.5 to 6.8.
