Precise information about the intracell nitric oxide (NO) concentration [NO] of a single cell are necessary in designing accurate experiments to further knowledge and develop treatment plans in certain disorders. The direct quantitative measurement of [NO] in situ in an intact cellular complex should be useful in tracking real-time and rapid changes at nanomolar levels. In this work, we describe the direct, real-time, and quantitative intracellular [NO] measurement utilizing an L-shaped amperometric integrated NO-selective electrode. This method not only provides an elegant and convenient approach to real-time the measurement of NO in physiological environments but also mimics the loss of NO caused by rapid NO diffusion combined with its reactivity in the biological milieu.
在设计精确实验以增进对某些疾病的了解并制定治疗方案时,单个细胞内一氧化氮(NO)浓度[NO]的精确信息是必要的。在完整细胞复合体中原位直接定量测量[NO],对于追踪纳摩尔水平的实时快速变化应是有用的。在这项工作中,我们描述了利用L形安培法集成NO选择性电极进行直接、实时和定量的细胞内[NO]测量。这种方法不仅为在生理环境中实时测量NO提供了一种优雅且便捷的途径,还模拟了快速NO扩散及其在生物环境中的反应性所导致的NO损失。
