Spring red
Spring Red is a fluorescent probe for mitochondrial pH detection (Ex/Em = 530/680 nm) that can be taken up by live cells and mitochondria. The detection mechanism of Spring Red depends on pH changes and mitochondrial membrane potential. Fluorescence intensity increases with elevated pH, and a significant pH-dependent fluorescent response is observed in the pH range of 5.0‑8.0. Spring Red is suitable for long-term live-cell imaging and in vivo imaging, and can be used to monitor dynamic mitochondrial pH changes.

Operating Instructions
(The following is a recommended experimental protocol for guidance only and should be adjusted according to your specific requirements).
1. Stock Solution Preparation
1.1 Solvent: Universal buffer (0.1 M citric acid, 0.1 M KH2PO4, 0.1 M Na2B4O7, 0.1 M Tris, 0.1 M KCl).
1.2 Concentration recommendation: 1 mM.
2. Working Solution Preparation
2.1 Working concentration: 30 μM.
2.2 Notes: Adjust the working solution concentration as needed; prepare and use immediately.
3. Staining Procedure
3.1 Sample type[1]:
3.1.1 Adherent cells: Human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG2).
3.2 Incubation conditions: Incubate adherent cells with 30 μM Spring Red for 10 min.
3.3 Washing step: Wash away lactic acid and pyruvate from HepG2 cells to reverse mitochondrial pH changes.
4. Control Setup
4.1 Localization imaging control: Stain HepG2 cells with Mito Green as a reference dye for mitochondrial localization.
4.2 Biological interferent control group: Test the interference of various common cations and ROS on the fluorescence signal of Spring Red in the universal buffer system to verify the anti-interference performance of the probe.
5. Detection and Analysis
5.1 Instrument: A laser confocal fluorescence microscope is used for cell imaging.
5.1.1 Excitation/emission wavelength: λex = 543 nm, λem = 650-800 nm.
5.2 Result analysis:
5.2.1 Fluorescence intensity change: Fluorescence intensity increases with elevated pH and decreases with reduced pH.
5.2.2 Fluorescence localization: Accumulates in the mitochondria of HepG2 cells.
5.2.3 Color change: Emits red near-infrared fluorescence.

4.1.1 LPS model control mice: Mice injected intraperitoneally with LPS only, without Spring Red probe treatment.
4.1.2 Probe control mice: Mice injected intraperitoneally with Spring Red probe only, without establishment of the intraperitoneal LPS-induced inflammation model.
4.2 In vivo imaging controls for zebrafish:
4.2.1 Positive organelle labeling control: Zebrafish stained with Mito Green, which serves as the positive reference dye for mitochondrial localization.
5. Detection and Analysis
5.1 Instruments: Laser confocal fluorescence microscope is used for zebrafish imaging; in vivo fluorescence imaging system is used for mouse imaging.
5.1.1 Excitation/emission wavelengths: For zebrafish imaging: λex = 543 nm, λem = 650-800 nm; for mouse imaging: λex = 530 nm, λem = 670 nm.
5.2 Result analysis:
5.2.1 Fluorescence intensity change: Fluorescence intensity increases with elevated pH and decreases with reduced pH.
5.2.2 Fluorescence localization: Enriches in the heart region of zebrafish; localizes in the abdominal cavity of mice.
5.2.3 Color change: Emits red near-infrared fluorescence.
