Phosphorescent Oxygen-Sensitive Probes

<p>Biological O<sub>2</sub> sensing probes and measurement techniques were first introduced in the late 80s. In the last 3-5 years they have undergone major development that have made them available and affordable for a broad range of applications in various disciplines of the life and biomedical sciences. These new chemistries and technologies which are significantly different from the majority of other fluorescence-based probes and detection techniques have already demonstrated their high utility. This book will provide a systematic overview of the existing and emerging O<sub>2</sub> sensing technologies in their different modifications a practical guide to their rational selection and use and examples of biological applications/case studies including details on how to set up and conduct such experiments troubleshoot and interpret the data.</p>
