However, the development of such a probe remains a challenge. Here, the design and development of the two-photon ratiometric carbon dot-based nanoprobe are shown for the first time and its capability to monitor and quantify the intracellular cytoplasmic pH value, in real-time is demonstrated. The nanoprobe is comprised of a fluorescent carbon dot functionalized with a pH-responsive fluorescein dye (FACD). With increasing pH, FACD exhibits a clear ratiometric change in the emission intensity ratio, with sensitivity across a wide pH range in both extracellular and intracellular compartments. FACD is non-toxic to human adipose stem cells in cell imaging experimental conditions and exhibits remarkable thermal stability, photostability, and two-photon near-infrared excitation capability. Using real-time dual-channel two-photon confocal microscopy this study demonstrates the great potential of FACD as an efficient nanoprobe with high accuracy for the intracellular sensing of pH in living adipose stem cells seeded on either cell-culture dishes or on a 3D printed bioactive scaffold.";"Pooria Lesani, University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia, Hala Zreiqat, University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia";"Pooria Lesani et al.
