  • Methods of using fluorescent pH indicators for intracellular assays
    Patent number: 7507395
    Abstract: Systems, including compositions and methods, for measuring pH, particularly in cells, organelles, and other samples. The compositions include pH-sensitive fluorescent and fluorogenic 2?,7?-dialkylfluorescein derivatives and associated nonfluorescent precursor compounds. The compositions may permit ratiometric measurement in the excitation spectrum and the emission spectrum. The methods include adding a precursor compound to a sample cell, incubating the sample cell to release the free indicator, illuminating the sample cell, and detecting the fluorescence response of the free indicator.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 4, 2004
    Date of Patent: March 24, 2009
    Assignee: MDS Analytical Technologies (US) Inc.
    Inventors: Zhenjun Diwu, Jesse J. Twu, Guoliang Yi, Luke D. Lavis, Yen-Wen Chen, Kelly J. Cassutt
  • Fluorescent pH indicators for intracellular assays
    Patent number: 6800765
    Abstract: Systems, including compositions and methods, for measuring pH, particularly in cells, organelles, and other samples. The compositions include pH-sensitive fluorescent and fluorogenic 2′,7′-dialkylfluorescein derivatives and associated nonfluorescent precursor compounds. The compositions may permit ratiometric measurement in the excitation spectrum and the emission spectrum. The methods include adding a precursor compound to a sample cell, incubating the sample cell to release the free indicator, illuminating the sample cell, and detecting the fluorescence response of the free indicator.
