I am doing an experiment to monitor the pH of lysosomes in cells and want to try the probe CypHer 5.

But there are some questions:

First, is it a live cell dye?

After all, we want to track the dynamic changes of lysosomes in living cells, and it would be inconvenient if it can only dye fixed cells; the other question is whether it can pass through the plasma membrane and enter the cell by itself?

If it needs to use transfection reagents or other treatments, then the experimental steps have to be adjusted.
