Dual Color Imaging from a Single BF2-Azadipyrromethene Fluorophore Demonstrated in vivo for Lymph Node Identification

Working Paper
This content is a preprint and has not undergone peer review at the time of posting.

Abstract

Dual color fluorescence imaging has been achieved in the highly complex biomedical scenario of lymph node mapping. Emissions at 700 and 800 nm can be achieved from a single fluorophore by establishing molecular and aggregate forms. Fluorophore was compatible with clinical systems for fluorescence guided surgery and no toxicity was observed in high dosage testing.
