Lifetime Probes
Probes such as Square-670-di-COOH (K8-1300) show large changes in FLT upon binding to either proteins or cell-surfaces. K8-1300 is water-soluble but with a strong affinity for hydrophobic regions of biomolecules.

| K8-1407 is a NIR probe that exhibits a pKa around 7 and is therefore useful for measurement of pH changes in the physiologically relevant pH range from pH 8 to pH 6.5. Importantly both forms (protoneated as well as unprotonated) are fluorescent and they exhibit different lifetimes which makes this compound also useful for lifetime-based applications (see Figure below). For more information about these dyes we refer you to the specs sheet of K8-1407 and the published literature. |
