A compact and highly fluorescent orange-emitting polymer dot for specific subcellular imaging

Chem Commun (Camb). 2012 Feb 7;48(12):1778-80. doi: 10.1039/c2cc16486h. Epub 2012 Jan 4.

Abstract

We demonstrate a new compact CN-PPV dot, which emits in the orange wavelength range with high brightness. The small particle size, high brightness, and the ability to highly specifically target subcellular structures make the CN-PPV dots promising probes for biological imaging and bioanalytical applications.
