Subcellular distribution of green-emitting carbon nanodots — •Mariell Gassen, Mine Polat, Carla Sprengel, and Thomas Heinzel — Condensed Matter Physics Laboratory, Heinrich Heine University, Düsseldorf, Germany

Carbon nanodots are promising fluorescent nanoparticles for biomedical imaging applications and drug delivery. They frequently show fluorescence in the blue range, which causes interference with the autofluorescence of the cell [1]. To circumvent this, we produced green-emitting carbon nanodots and incubated them in cells. We report tests about their subcellular distribution and studies of their suitability as carriers for active substances.
