BCECF, AM是一种可以穿透细胞膜检测细胞内pH的荧光染料。BCECF, AM没有荧光，进入细胞后可以被细胞内的酯酶剪切形成BCECF，从而被滞留在细胞内。BCECF在适当的pH值情况下可以被激发形成绿色荧光。最大激发波长和发射波长因pH的不同而有所不同，最大激发波长在503nm左右，最大发射波长在520nm左右，实际检测时推荐使用的激发波长为488nm，发射波长为535nm。
BCECF, AM不仅被广泛用于哺乳动物细胞的研究，也有报道用于动物组织、植物细胞、细菌和酵母等的细胞内pH水平检测。在有细胞内pH变化的细胞毒性、细胞凋亡、细胞粘附、药物抵抗、细胞趋化等过程中BCECF, AM被广泛应用。
用于细胞内pH检测时，常用的BCECF, AM的浓度为1~10μM。
BCECF-AM 是一种细胞膜穿透的荧光指示剂，可以测量细胞内的 pH 值。

BCECF, AM is a fluorescent dye that can penetrate the cell membrane to detect intracellular pH. BCECF and AM have no fluorescence. After entering the cell, they can be cleaved by the intracellular esterase to form BCECF, thereby being retained in the cell. BCECF can be excited to form green fluorescence under proper pH. The maximum excitation wavelength and emission wavelength are different due to different pH. The maximum excitation wavelength is around 503nm, and the maximum emission wavelength is around 520nm. The recommended excitation wavelength for actual detection is 488nm and emission wavelength is 535nm.
BCECF and AM are not only widely used in the research of mammalian cells, but also reported to be used in the detection of intracellular pH levels in animal tissues, plant cells, bacteria and yeast. BCECF and AM are widely used in processes such as cytotoxicity, apoptosis, cell adhesion, drug resistance, and cell chemotaxis with changes in intracellular pH.
When used for intracellular pH detection, the commonly used concentration of BCECF and AM is 1~10μM.
BCECF-AM is a cell membrane permeable compound widely used as a fluorescent indicator for intracellular pH.
