Indocyanine green (ICG) (Chem-Impex Int’l Inc., IL, USA), methylene blue (MB) (Fisher Science Education Inc., PA, USA), and 1,1′-dioctadecyl-3,3,3′,3′-tetramethylindo-tricarbocyanine iodide (DiR) (Biotium Inc., CA, USA) were purchased and dissolved in deionized (DI) water (ICG and MB) or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (DiR). Ten μL of each solution (36 μM, 18 μM, and 9 μM ICG; 1.5 mM, 0.75 mM, and 0.37 mM MB; and 136 μM, 68 μM, and 136 μM DiR) were used for photoacoustic imaging. Samples were placed inside Teflon light wall tubes (Component Supply Company, FL, USA) and positioned under 1 cm layer of 2% intralipid (20%, emulsion, Sigma-Aldrich Co, MO, USA) mixed with agar. Water or DMSO served as controls. ICG and DiR used 850 nm excitation, and MB used 690 nm excitation. All samples were scanned at a depth of 10 mm from the transducer, and a MIP was used to reconstruct the images. We repeated this at higher concentrations (640 μM, 320 μM, and 160 μM ICG; 6 mM, 3 mM, and 1.5 mM MB; and 592 μM, 296 μM, and 148 μM DiR). ImageJ 1.48 v was used to do statistical analysis. Ten different regions of interest (ROI) were used to measure the average photoacoustic intensity for each sample.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
