| Targets |
ICG-carboxylic acid does not have a traditional biological target; it is a fluorescent probe used for imaging applications. It is a near-infrared (NIR) cyanine dye that can be used for fluorescence-guided surgery, blood flow measurement, angiography, and targeted imaging. The carboxylic acid group allows conjugation to antibodies or peptides for targeted applications.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Because of its well-established fluorescent qualities, indocyanine green (ICG), a water-soluble chemical, is often and safely employed in medical diagnostics. It has been applied to the identification of important structures, such as intra-abdominal malignancies, during fluorescence-guided surgery [1].
In vitro, ICG-carboxylic acid is used as a fluorescent probe for labeling and imaging cells or tissues. It can be conjugated to targeting molecules for specific cell labeling. Its well-established fluorescent qualities make it a safe and commonly used reagent in medical diagnostics. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, ICG is used for fluorescence-guided surgery to identify critical structures, including intra-abdominal tumors. ICG-carboxylic acid, as a derivative, can be used for similar applications, including targeted imaging. It can absorb near-infrared laser energy and release heat within the dyed tissue, which has potential for photothermal therapy.

| Solubility (In Vitro) |
DMSO : ~50 mg/mL (~68.40 mM)

|---|---|
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.5 mg/mL (3.42 mM) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 +5% Tween-80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with sonication.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 + to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

| 10 mM | 0.1368 mL | 0.6840 mL | 1.3681 mL |
*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
