Surfactant-stripped micelles are formed from a commercially available cyanine fluoroalkylphosphate (CyFaP) salt dye and used for high contrast photoacoustic imaging (PAI) in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II). The co-loading of Coenzyme Q10 into surfactant-stripped CyFaP (ss-CyFaP) micelles improves yield, storage stability, and results in a peak absorption wavelength in the NIR-II window close to the 1064 nm output of Nd-YAG lasers used for PAI. Aqueous ss-CyFaP dispersions exhibit intens ...[more]
