The three sulfonate groups on the 8-hydroxypyrene scaffold confer high aqueous solubility and membrane-impermeance, while the phenolic 8-hydroxyl group defines the acid–base equilibrium underlying both the ground- and excited-state behaviour. HPTS shows two pH-dependent excitation maxima near 405 nm (protonated ROH form) and 450 nm (deprotonated RO− form), with dominant emission monitored near 510 nm, an isosbestic point near 415 nm in the absorbance\/excitation spectra, and a high fluorescence quantum yield (Φf \u0026gt; 0.75) in water. Its ground-state pKa lies near 7.2–7.4, placing the indicator in the physiological range, while photoexcitation drops the excited-state pKa* to approximately 0.4, releasing a proton to the surrounding solvent on a picosecond timescale. The dye is supplied as a yellow to greenish-yellow crystalline powder that dissolves readily in water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatiometric Fluorescent pH Measurement in Cells, Vesicles, and Confined Compartments\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHPTS is one of the most widely used ratiometric fluorescent pH indicators for biological and confined aqueous compartments. The two pH-dependent excitation maxima feed a dominant emission band near 510 nm, and the I450\/I405 excitation-intensity ratio gives a pH readout that is largely independent of dye loading, optical path length, and minor instrumental variation, with calibration anchored on the isosbestic point near 415 nm. Because the three sulfonate groups make the dye membrane-impermeable, cellular and organelle delivery proceeds by fluid-phase pinocytosis, microinjection, or co-encapsulation rather than passive diffusion across the bilayer. Established applications include cytosolic pH measurement after intracellular loading, endosomal and lysosomal pH determination via fluid-phase endocytic uptake, and internal pH measurement of unilamellar lipid vesicles. The same encapsulation strategy underpins liposome content-leakage and vesicle-fusion assays, in which HPTS is co-loaded with the cationic quencher DPX (\u003cem\u003ep\u003c\/em\u003e-xylene-bis-pyridinium bromide); membrane disruption or fusion-induced content mixing dilutes the quencher and dequenches HPTS fluorescence in a quantitative readout of bilayer integrity and content mixing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenchmark Photoacid for Excited-State Proton Transfer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHPTS is the most widely used photoacid for studies of excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) in solution and confined environments, and the canonical reference compound for the Förster-cycle framework that links ground- and excited-state acidities through the difference in absorption and emission energies. The pKa drop of approximately seven units on excitation drives proton release from the ROH* form to the surrounding water on a timescale near 110 ps, making the dye a sensitive optical reporter of local hydrogen-bond network structure, hydration-shell reorganisation, and Grotthuss-type proton diffusion. HPTS is the standard probe for confined and interfacial water in AOT reverse-micelle nanopools, lipid assemblies, polymer hydrogels, and biopolymer matrices, and is used to track proton-transfer kinetics and local hydronium-ion concentration within the nanoscopic water channels of sulfonated perfluoropolymer proton-exchange membranes used in fuel-cell research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFluorescent Tracer for Hydrology and Water-System Diagnostics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePyranine is used as a fluorescent tracer in hydrogeology, environmental monitoring, and water-system flow diagnostics, where its high water solubility and bright yellow-green fluorescence under UV\/blue excitation are key practical properties. Reported applications include groundwater and surface-water tracing, karst and fractured-aquifer hydrology studies, contaminant-transport investigations, flow visualisation, and leak detection in water-based plumbing and water-handling systems. Because pyranine fluorescence intensity is intrinsically pH-dependent across the relevant working range, quantitative tracer studies require pH-aware calibration so that environmental pH gradients in the test medium are not misinterpreted as changes in tracer concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFluorescent Colorant and Optical Sensor Component in Materials Research\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePyranine, indexed as Solvent Green 7 and C.I. 59040, is widely used as a fluorescent colorant and pH-responsive sensor component in materials-science and industrial research. The most prominent sensor application is in CO2-responsive optical films, where HPTS is paired with a lipophilic quaternary-ammonium counter-ion (commonly tetrabutyl- or tetraoctylammonium hydroxide) and dispersed in hydrophobic polymer matrices such as ethyl cellulose, silicone, poly(methyl methacrylate), or polyethylene; partitioning of CO2 into the film generates carbonic acid \u003cem\u003ein situ\u003c\/em\u003e, shifts the local pH, and modulates HPTS fluorescence in a quantitative response that underpins dissolved- and gaseous-CO2 optical sensors used in process monitoring, environmental analysis, and bioprocess research. The same dye is incorporated into pH-sensitive sol–gel silica and polymer microsensors for ratiometric optical pH measurement, into water-based fluorescent inks and highlighter pen formulations where its bright yellow-green fluorescence contributes the characteristic colour, and into water-based coolant and antifreeze colorant formulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther Applications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProbe for proton diffusion at membrane and protein surfaces in surface-tethered or chemisorbed forms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReporter for hydration-environment dynamics in protein hydrogels and biopolymer matrices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensing component in viologen-based fluorescence-quenching assays for glucose and other carbohydrates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReagent for two-dimensional \u003cem\u003ep\u003c\/em\u003eCO2 imaging in marine sediments and overlying water columns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 28px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #002147; padding: 10px 20px; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e  \u003ch3 style=\"margin: 0; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.70em; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.12em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #fff;\"\u003eShipping Destinations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 1px solid #e4e8f0; border-top: none; padding: 12px 16px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.95em;\"\u003e\u003cul style=\"margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 5px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"display: inline-block; width: 7px; height: 7px; background: #002147; border-radius: 50%; margin-right: 10px; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eEU \u0026amp; UK: Priority delivery, 2–5 business days.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 5px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"display: inline-block; width: 7px; height: 7px; background: #002147; border-radius: 50%; margin-right: 10px; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eUnited States (DDP): 3–7 business days, duties and taxes prepaid.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 5px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"display: inline-block; width: 7px; height: 7px; background: #002147; border-radius: 50%; margin-right: 10px; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eEFTA Countries (DDP): 3–7 business days, duties and taxes prepaid.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 5px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"display: inline-block; width: 7px; height: 7px; background: #002147; border-radius: 50%; margin-right: 10px; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eWorldwide: 7–14 business days, selected locations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NorrChemica™","offers":[{"title":"5 g","offer_id":52297448456529,"sku":"NOR-6358696-5g","price":22.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 g","offer_id":52297448489297,"sku":"NOR-6358696-10g","price":38.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 g","offer_id":52297448522065,"sku":"NOR-6358696-25g","price":84.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 g","offer_id":52297448554833,"sku":"NOR-6358696-50g","price":159.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 g","offer_id":52297448587601,"sku":"NOR-6358696-100g","price":239.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 g","offer_id":52297448620369,"sku":"NOR-6358696-250g","price":449.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/6357\/1793\/files\/NorrChemica_Pyranine.png?v=1782531593","url":"https:\/\/www.norrchemica.com\/products\/pyranine-hpts-cas-6358-69-6","provider":"NorrChemica","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
