Of good report: Synthesis and screening of an 80-member tricarbocyanine library identified CyNAMLA-381 as a near-IR surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) reporter with good signal stability and higher sensitivity than the standard. Encapsulation of CyNAMLA-381 on gold nanoparticles and conjugation to an antibody afforded SERS nanotags with excellent sensitivity, stability, and tumor specificity in xenograft models (see picture).
