Description

Pyranine is a fluorescent dye commonly used in research due to its high quantum yield and sensitivity to pH changes. It is synthesized through a multi-step process involving condensation reactions and sulfonation. Pyranine exhibits strong fluorescence in basic conditions, but its fluorescence is quenched in acidic environments. This pH sensitivity makes it a valuable tool for studying intracellular pH changes, enzyme activity, and other biological processes. Its applications extend to sensing and imaging, particularly in fields like bioimaging and environmental monitoring.'
