Dye-based fluorescent organic nanoparticles made from polar and polarizable chromophores for bioimaging purposes: a bottom-up approach by Daniel, Jonathan, Dal Pra, Ophélie, Kurek, Eleonore, Grazon, Chloé, Blanchard-Desce, Mireille

“…As a result, dFONs made from PPDs that combine unprecedented brightness (up to 108 M-1·cm-1 and 106 GM), remarkable colloidal stability and absence of toxicity, have been elaborated, providing superior substitutes to Quantum Dots. Such dFONs can be used as ultrasensitive contrast agents for in vivo two-photon angiography in small animals, while hyper-bright NIR-emitting FONs, that show remarkable photostability and excellent biocompatibility, can be successfully imaged and tracked at the single particle level in water. …”
