Ultra-Sensitive Measurement of Ocean pH

Ultra sensitive measurement of dielectric current under pulsed stress conditions

Digitization of Endocytic pH by Hybrid Ultra-pH-Sensitive Nanoprobes at Single-Organelle Resolution.

A multispectral hybrid nanotransistor consisting of modular fluorescent block copolymers with discrete and sharp pH transitions in one nanoparticluate system is presented. This nanotransistor probe allows digitized reporting of dynamic maturation at single-organelle resolution over time. This nanotechnology platform offers a powerful tool in fundamental studies of organelle biology, cell signal...

Ultra-pH-Sensitive Nanoprobe Library with Broad pH Tunability and Fluorescence Emissions

pH is an important physiological parameter that plays a critical role in cellular and tissue homeostasis. Conventional small molecular pH sensors (e.g., fluorescein, Lysosensor) are limited by broad pH response and restricted fluorescent emissions. Previously, we reported the development of ultra-pH-sensitive (UPS) nanoprobes with sharp pH response using fluorophores with small Stokes shifts (<...

Measurement of intracellular pH of skeletal muscle with pH-sensitive glass microelectrodes.

We used three methods to examine the relationship among intracellular pH, transmembrane potential, and extracellular pH. Single-barreled electrodes permitted the determination of resting potential and intracellular pH with a minimum of cellular injury. Double-barreled electrodes, which incorporated a reference as well as a pH-sensitive electrode in a single tip, facilitated the direct measureme...
