Optical measurements of pH using fluorescence lifetimes and phase-modulation fluorometry
Open accessAbstract
We measured the pH-dependent fluorescence decay times of the seminaphthofluoresceins (SNA-FL), seminaphthorhodafluors (SNARF), and BCE-CF using phase-modulation fluorometry. The phase and modulation values were found to be strongly pH-dependent in the physiological pH range, over the easily accessible range of light modulation frequencies from 10 to 300 MHz, making these probes useful as lifetime-based pH sensors. The phase and modulation values are dependent on excitation and emission wavelength as well as pH. This dependence allows the range of pH sensitivity to be chosen by selection of the wavelength(s) and enables increased precision of the pH measurements by use of phase and/or modulation measurements at several wavelengths. These probes can be excited using a a green He-Ne laser at 543 nm, which allows their use in low cost instrumentation. Phase and modulation measurements are especially suitable for sensing applications because they are insensitive to the changes in signal intensity that result from photobleaching, probe washout, and/or light losses.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
