Biological Activity

Indocyanine green is a near infrared (NIR) fluorescent dye operating in the 700-900 nm wavelength range. It also exhibits fluorescence emission in the shortwave infrared window (SWIR; 1,000-2,000 nm) which enables in vivo imaging, including intravital microscopy, non-invasive real-time imaging in blood and lymph vessels, and imaging of hepatobiliary clearance. Imaging of indocyanine green in SWIR shows increased sensitivity, contrast, and resolution of fine anatomical structures over NIR.

This product is supplied with a high degree of hydration and may contain residual inorganic salts, the amount of which are batch dependent. Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis to obtain the batch specific Net Product Content.
