We present a technique for labeling the contents of acidic organelles and rapidly releasing, separating, and detecting their labeled contents with laser-induced fluorescence. We have performed solution-phase separation of the contents of single mitochondria and single 100 nm vesicles, which represents a demonstration of an analyzed volume of similar to 1 aL. Our strategy to label the acidic contents of the mitochondrion relies on the use of the membrane-permeable dye, Oregon Green diacetate succinimidyl ester, and a membrane-permeable base to raise intramitochondrial pH. In order to measure the contents, we utilized a glass microfluidic chip and high voltage gradient for millisecond capillary electrophoresis separation after single-mitochondrion photolysis. We observed heterogeneity among a population of mitochondria with respect to a constituent chemical component.
