Biological O2 sensing probes and measurement techniques were
first introduced in the late 80s. In the last 3-5 years they have
undergone major development that have made them available and affordable
for a broad range of applications in various disciplines of the life
and biomedical sciences. These new chemistries and technologies, which
are significantly different from the majority of other
fluorescence-based probes and detection techniques, have already
demonstrated their high utility. This book will provide a systematic
overview of the existing and emerging O2 sensing technologies
in their different modifications, a practical guide to their rational
selection and use, and examples of biological applications/case studies,
including details on how to set up and conduct such experiments,
troubleshoot and interpret the data.
