We characterized the use of the fluorescent probe Sodium Green for measurements of intracellular free sodium using frequency–domain, phase–modulation fluorometry. The intensity decays were found to be strongly Na+dependent, with mean lifetime increasing from 1.13 ns in the absence of Na+to 2.39 ns in the presence of 140 mmNa+. Detailed analysis of the intensity decays in the presence of Na+and K+in the concentration range from 0 to 500 mmis provided. Sodium sensing using data measured at a single modulation frequency is described. Phase and modulation data showed high sensitivity to Na+and substantially lower sensitivity to K+. Additionally, exposure of Sodium Green to intense illumination indicated that Sodium Green is much more photostable than its precursor, fluorescein. These results indicate that lifetime-based measurements with Sodium Green can be used for imaging of intracellular free [Na+] in the range from about 0.5 to 50 mmwith high accuracy.
