Propidium monoazide (PMA) is a photoreactive DNA-binding dye that preferentially binds to dsDNA. It is used to detect viable microorganisms by qPCR. Visible light (high power halogen lamps or specific LED devices ) induces a photoreaction of the chemical that will lead to a covalent bond with PMA and the dsDNA.
