Retraction Note: Fluorescence spectrum–based dual-parameter detection method for pH and DO in cancer cell metabolic fluid

Dual-fluorescence pH probe for bio-labelling.

Although seminaphtorhodafluor (SNARF) dyes are already widely used to measure pH in cells and at biofilms, their synthesis has low yield and results in an unspecific position of a carboxy-group. The separation of 5'- and 6'-carboxy-SNARF reveals a pKa difference of 0.15, calling into question pH measurements with the (commercially available) mixture. Here we replace the bulky external dicarboxy...
