Introduction: Optical measurements of the cardiac calcium transient (Ca) and transmembrane action potential (AP) may be performed simultaneously with emission ratiometry to lessen motion artifacts and photobleaching effects. We examined changes in emission spectrum in perfused rabbit hearts coloaded with Rh237 and a green-emitting Ca dye (Fluo-4 or Oregon Green BAPTA 1) to determine wavelength bands for emission ratiometry and to test whether ratiometry reduces motion artifacts and drift.
Methods And Results: A 488-nm laser illuminated hearts while a spectrofluorometer collected fluorescence from 489 to 838 nm at 1 kHz. Ratiometry with the Ca- and AP-insensitive emission band 663 to 685 nm (IS) as denominator and the Ca-sensitive band 510 to 532 nm as numerator lessened motion artifacts, which was quantified as a 1.4-fold increase in relative amplitude of the Ca (P < 0.05). Ratiometry with the AP-sensitive band 772 to 794 nm as denominator and the IS as numerator produced a 1.7-fold increase in relative amplitude of the AP (P < 0.05). The ratiometry decreased photobleaching-dependent drift by a factor of 0.6 (P < 0.05) for Ca and 0.45 (P < 0.05) for AP.
Conclusion: Simultaneous Ca and AP emission ratiometry reduces motion artifacts and drift in hearts with coloaded dyes.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a new red-emitting metal-organic framework (MOF) called UoZ-7, which is based on zinc instead of the more common lanthanides.
- UoZ-7 can detect tetracycline (TC) through a dual-state approach, using both solution and solid forms, and showcases a strong red emission when exposed to UV light.
- The detection mechanism relies on the interaction between TC and UoZ-7, which alters the emission colors and reduces red brightness, enabling an easy and fast method for on-site TC detection in various environments.

A new method utilizing fluorescent ratiometry is proposed for detecting putrescine and spermidine. The method involves the use of a fluorescent probe comprising a 2D halide perovskite synthesized from octadecylamine-iodine and PbI a grinding-sonicating technique, along with a Eu-complex. Upon excitation at 290 nm, the probe fluoresces at two distinguishable wavelengths.

Synthesis of dual-state dual emitting metal-organic frameworks (DSDE-MOFs) is uncommon and challenging. Additionally, DSDE-MOFs can fulfil the expanding need for on-site detection due to their stability and self-reference for a variety of non-analyte variables. In the present work, a novel intrinsic DSDE of chemically engineered bi-ligand Eu-based MOF (UoZ-1) was designed.

Instrumental and environmental fluctuations are common sources of error in smartphone-based optical detection, significantly affecting the accuracy of analytical measurements. In this regard, spotting the sample and reference simultaneously and in close proximity compensates for the fluctuations. This "dual-spot" design is similar to the double-beam technique used in spectrophotometry, which reduces fluctuations in the results.

Dual-state emitters (DSEs) are entities that exhibit fluorescence in both the solution and solid state, which open up a wide range of possibilities for their utilization in various fields. The development of detection platforms using intrinsic luminescent metal-organic frameworks (LMOFs) is highly desirable for a variety of applications. DSE MOFs as a subclass of intrinsic LMOFs are highly attractive due to no need for encapsulation/functionalization by fluorophores and/or using luminescent linkers.
