Investigation of the stability of labelled nanoparticles for SE(R)RS measurements in cells

Abstract

We explore the long-term stability of two different classes of labelled nanoparticles as intracellular SE(R)RS probes. Whilst chemisorbed labels gave stable responses inside cells for extended periods of time, signals from physisorbed labels could only be measured for short periods of time. These results help inform strategies for cellular imaging using vibrational spectroscopies.
