Ratio-pHCL-1
Ratio-pHCL-1 is a fluorescent probe for quantitative ratiometric pH imaging in biological systems. Ratio-pHCL-1 consists of an acrylamide 1,2-dioxetane chemiluminescent scaffold and a linked pH-sensitive carbon fluorescein fluorophore, and functions via chemically initiated electron exchange luminescence (CIEEL) decomposition and chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET). Ratio-pHCL-1 can cross cell membranes and accumulate intracellularly, enabling pH measurement within the range of 6.8-8.4.

Biological Activity
Guidelines (The following is a recommended experimental protocol for reference only, and adjustments are required based on your specific needs)
1. Stock Solution Preparation
1.1 Solvent: DMSO.
1.2 Suggested concentration: 1 mM.
2. Working Solution Preparation
2.1 Diluent: PBS buffer.
2.2 Working concentration: 20 μM.
2.3 Notes: Adjust the working solution concentration as needed; prepare and use immediately.
3. Staining Procedures
3.1 Sample Type Description
3.1.1 Adherent cells[1]: A549 cells.
3.2 Incubation Conditions
3.2.1 For adherent cells: 20 μM Ratio-pHCL-1, incubation duration of 80 min.
3.3 Washing Steps
3.3.1 Wash the cells after incubation to remove excess probes/dyes.
4. Control Setup
4.1 Set up negative controls, positive controls and blank controls.
4.2 Positive controls are used to validate the experimental system; blank controls are used to exclude fluorescent interference from reagents.
5. Detection and Analysis
5.1 Instrument Type
5.1.1 Fluorescence microscope.
5.2 Excitation/Emission Wavelengths
5.2.1 Emission wavelength range: 400−900 nm; monitor emission signals at 530 nm and 580 nm.
5.3.1 Fluorescence intensity changes: Chemiluminescence emission intensity increases with elevated pH; and the luminescence intensity decreases over time.
5.3.2 Fluorescence localization: Accumulates in adherent cells and can be detected using GFP and RFP filter sets.
5.3.3 Color changes: The emission signals correspond to green and orange-red luminescence.

3. Staining Procedure
3.1 Sample Type Description
3.1.1 Animal samples[1]: C57BL6 mice, administered via intraperitoneal injection; including euthanized and living intraperitoneal samples.
3.2 Incubation Conditions
3.2.1 For in vivo imaging: Perform imaging immediately after injection.
4. Control Setup
4.1 Set up negative controls, positive controls and blank controls.
4.2 Positive controls are used to validate the experimental system; blank controls are used to eliminate fluorescent interference from reagents.
5. Detection and Analysis
5.1 Instrument Type
5.1.1 In vivo optical imaging system.
5.2 Excitation/Emission Wavelength
5.2.1 In vivo optical imaging system: Perform imaging sequentially using bandpass filters of 530 nm, 540 nm and 580 nm.
5.3 Result Analysis
5.3.1 Changes in fluorescence intensity: The chemiluminescence emission intensity increases as pH rises; and the chemiluminescence intensity decreases over time.
5.3.2 Color changes: The emission signals correspond to green and orange-red luminescence.
5.3.3 Ratio analysis: Calculate the ratio of total flux (photons/sec) at 580 nm to that at 540 nm for quantitative pH detection in in vitro and mouse intraperitoneal samples.
