Ultrabright fluorescent nanoparticles (NPs) hold great promise for demanding bioimaging applications. Recently, extremely bright molecular crystals of cationic fluorophores were obtained by hierarchical coassembly with cyanostar anion-receptor complexes. These small-molecule ionic isolation lattices (SMILES) ensure spatial and electronic to prohibit aggregation quenching dyes. We report a simpl...

Small molecule fluorophores are indispensable tools for modern biomedical imaging techniques. In this report, we present the development of a new class of BODIPY dyes based on an alkoxy-fluoro-boron-dipyrromethene core. These novel fluorescent dyes, which we term MayaFluors, are characterized by good aqueous solubility and favorable in vitro physicochemical properties. MayaFluors are readily ac...

Quantitative analysis of bioimaging data is often skewed by both shading in space and background variation in time. We introduce BaSiC, an image correction method based on low-rank and sparse decomposition which solves both issues. In comparison to existing shading correction tools, BaSiC achieves high-accuracy with significantly fewer input images, works for diverse imaging conditions and is r...

The non-specific adhesion of spherical micro- and nano-particles to a cell substrate is investigated in a parallel plate flow chamber. Differently from prior in-vitro analyses, the total volume of the particles injected into the flow chamber is kept fixed whilst the particle diameter is changed in the range 0.5-10 microm. It is shown that: (i) the absolute number of particles adherent to the ce...

A novel and easily accessible luminescent iridium(iii) complex [Ir(tpy)2(N^N)]PF6 (, tpy = 2-(p-tolyl)pyridine, N^N = 4-[(4-amino-3-nitrophenoxy)-methylene]-4'-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine) for the sensing of HOCl has been designed and synthesized. The detection strategy is based on the HOCl-promoted cleavage of the PET quenching 4-amino-3-nitrophenyloxy moiety of the weakly emissive complex , which ...

A rapid, simple and one step microwave mediated method for synthesizing C-dots using poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as a precursor and passivating agent is reported. The C-dots possessed low cytotoxicity, were amenable to separation by electrophoresis, photostable and entered cancer cells, making them suitable candidates for bioimaging and biolabelling.

The synthesis, sorting, and characterization of monodisperse gold nanorods with dimensions around 10 nm in length and below 6 nm in diameter is reported. They display tunable plasmon resonance in the near infrared, a region where cellular absorption is reduced. A dual color photothermal microscope is developed to demonstrate that they are promising single molecule probes for bioimaging.
