Does anyone know whether it is suitable to use Alexa Flour Dyes for In Vivo Imaging?

15 August 2016 1 312 Report

I want to study the distribution of my nanoparticles in vivo, using a fluorescence tomography imager. I would like to know whether using Alexa Flour 488 dye or Alexa Flour 594 dye is suitable for imaging. As I have read that a Near-Infrared Alexa Flour dye is suitable. However, I would like to use the blue or red spectrum during imaging.
