NanoChlor, a nanoparticle-based fluorescent probe for chloride that is both ratiometric and capable of spontaneously penetrating neuronal cells at submillimolar concentrations, was designed and studied. NanoChlor is built on silica nanoparticles grafted with 6-methoxyquinolinium as the chloride-sensitive component and fluorescein as the reference dye. A Stern–Volmer constant of 50 M–1 was measured in Ringer’s buffer at pH 7.2, and the response to chemically induced chloride currents was recorded in real time in hippocampal cells.

Abstract
NanoChlor, a nanoparticle-based fluorescent probe for chloride that is both ratiometric and capable of spontaneously penetrating neuronal cells at submillimolar concentrations, was designed and studied. NanoChlor is built on silica nanoparticles grafted with 6-methoxyquinolinium as the chloride-sensitive component and fluorescein as the reference dye. A Stern–Volmer constant of 50 M–1 was measured in Ringer’s buffer at pH 7.2, and the response to chemically induced chloride currents was recorded in real time in hippocampal cells.File in questo prodotto:
