| Catalogue Number | P904 | ||||||||||||||||
| Description | Ultra Small Particle of Iron Oxide (USPIO) for macrophage imaging | ||||||||||||||||
| Main Applications | Cellular imaging, inflammation imaging, angiography | ||||||||||||||||
| Molecular characteristics |
– Hydrodynamic size: diameter is 25-30 nm
– Fe content : > 5000 Fe atoms per particle
– Recommended dose: 200 μmol/kg = 2.5 μL/g
Example: for a 30g body weight mouse injection, volume is 75 μL
– Relaxivities ( s-1.mM-1, 37°C; 4% Human Albumin Serum, medium closed to plasma)
– Qualitative techniques: Perl’s staining
– In vitro quantification techniques: P904 is a Fe-based contrast agent. Thus, it is necessary to take into account the endoge- nous iron content for quantification in biological media by ICP- AES or ICP-MS. Another way for USPIO quantification is rela- xometry, which is poorly sensitive to endogenous iron content.
