Understanding the intricate processes of cellular respiration and oxygen dynamics within biological systems is fundamental to many areas of medical and biological research. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides key chemical reagents that empower scientists to conduct these vital investigations. Among these, the Tris(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline)ruthenium(II) dichloride complex stands out as a critical tool for precise cellular oxygen measurement.

This specialized ruthenium complex, identified by CAS number 36309-88-3, functions as a luminescent oxygen probe. Its unique ability to emit light, which is then quenched by the presence of oxygen, makes it ideal for intracellular oxygen sensing. By observing the changes in luminescence intensity or decay time, researchers can accurately determine the oxygen concentration within living cells or tissues, offering unprecedented insights into metabolic activity and cellular health.

The application of Tris(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline)ruthenium(II) dichloride complex in cellular studies is broad and impactful. It is particularly useful for investigating oxygen gradients within tissues, such as in skin and skin tumors, which can reveal critical information about the microenvironment and its influence on cell behavior and disease progression. The ability to measure oxygen flux through the skin also opens avenues for non-invasive diagnostic techniques and therapeutic monitoring.

The mechanism behind its efficacy lies in the luminescence quenching phenomenon. When the ruthenium complex is excited by light, it enters an energized state. Molecular oxygen, acting as a quencher, interacts with this excited state, causing it to return to its ground state and emit less light. This inverse relationship between oxygen concentration and luminescence intensity provides a quantitative output that is directly correlated with the biological oxygen levels being studied. The precision offered by this method is crucial for drawing reliable conclusions from biological experiments.
