Near-Infrared Fluorescent Dyes

چکیده
Near-infrared (near-IR, NIR) dyes offer important advantages over traditional visible light dyes. Because cellular or tissue components produce minimal autofluorescence in the near-IR region, near-IR dyes have the potential to offer highly specific and sensitive detection in complex biological systems. Also, because light with wavelength in the near-IR region has strong tissue penetration, near-IR dyes are ideal for in vivo fluorescence imaging, an emerging field that has advanced rapidly in recent years. Near-IR dyes are also used for highly sensitive multiplex Western blotting and In-Cell WesternTM assays.

Development of photostable near-infrared cyanine dyes.
With the emerging interest in optical in vivo imaging, there is an increasing demand of photostable near-infrared (NIR) dyes. Herein we report the rational design of an amine tricarbocyanine structure with improved photostability (CyNA) and its combinatorial derivatization to render CyNA-414 as a NIR-fluorescent dye with stronger emission intensity and higher photostability than the NIR standar...
متن کاملLong fluorescence lifetime molecular probes based on near infrared pyrrolopyrrole cyanine fluorophores for in vivo imaging.
Fluorescence lifetime (FLT) properties of organic molecules provide a new reporting strategy for molecular imaging in the near infrared (NIR) spectral region. Unfortunately, most of the NIR fluorescent dyes have short FLT typically clustered below 1.5 ns. In this study, we demonstrate that a new class of NIR fluorescent dyes, pyrrolopyrrole cyanine dyes, have exceptionally long FLTs ranging fro...

متن کاملInternalization of Near-Infrared Fluorescent Dyes within Isolated Leukocyte Populations
Scientists have expressed continued interest in the development of microsensor technology that can indicate toxicity that occurs within a cell after a chemical challenge. One of the more useful approaches of microsensor technology is the application of fluorescent spectroscopy to indicate early-stage injury with optimal specificity and decreased background interference. If the toxicity is detec...
