Bioimaging: Employing Tryptone as a General Phase Transfer Agent to Produce Renal Clearable Nanodots for Bioimaging (Small 30/2015)
Source abstract
Abstract
A simple, versatile, and inexpensive strategy is developed by H. Zhang, Z. Wang, and co-workers for transferring small hydrophobic nanoparticles into an aqueous phase using raw tryptone as a phase-transfer agent. On page 3676, using tryptone-NaGdF4 nanodots as typical examples, the nanodots are found to have excellent colloidal stability, outstanding MRI-enhancing performance, efficient renal clearance, are nontoxic, and have an EPR-based tumor targeting ability. Furthermore, the as-transferred hydrophilic nanodots can be readily adapted by additional functionalization for various bioapplications.
