Bright and stable core-shell fluorescent silica nanoparticles.
A class of highly fluorescent and photostable core-shell nanoparticles from a modified Stober synthesis in the size range of 20-30 nm is described. These nanoparticles are monodisperse in solution, 20 times brighter, and more photostable than their constituent fluorophore, and are amenable to specific labeling of biological macromolecules for bioimaging experiments. The photophysical characteri...
متن کاملUltrabright fluorescent mesoporous silica nanoparticles.
The first successful approach to synthesizing ultrabright fluorescent mesoporous silica nanoparticles is reported. Fluorescent dye is physically entrapped inside nanochannels of a silica matrix created during templated sol-gel self-assembly. The problem of dye leakage from open channels is solved by incorporation of hydrophobic groups in the silica matrix. This makes the approach compatible wit...
متن کاملLiposome Encapsulation of Fluorescent Nanoparticles: Quantum Dots and Silica Nanoparticles
Quantum dots (QDs) and silica nanoparticles (SNs) are new classes of fluorescent probes that overcome the limitations encountered by organic fluorophores in bioassay and biological imaging applications. We encapsulated QDs and SNs into liposomes and separated nanoparticle-loaded liposomes from unencapsulated nanoparticles by size exclusion chromatography. Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy w...
متن کاملMultifunctional stable fluorescent magnetic nanoparticles.
Because of their multifunctionality and unique magnetic properties, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have been recognized as very promising materials for various biomedical applications. The main difficulty with the use of SPIONs as multimodal bioimaging agents is their lack of fluorescence. Since cells can act as extremely efficient filters for the elution of surface-bound f...
متن کاملNew Method to Prepare Mitomycin C Loaded PLA-Nanoparticles with High Drug Entrapment Efficiency
The classical utilized double emulsion solvent diffusion technique for encapsulating water soluble Mitomycin C (MMC) in PLA nanoparticles suffers from low encapsulation efficiency because of the drug rapid partitioning to the external aqueous phase. In this paper, MMC loaded PLA nanoparticles were prepared by a new single emulsion solvent evaporation method, in which soybean phosphatidylcholine...
