In vitro illumination using ML8500: osmium-based anticancer photosensitizer with highest hypoxic activity reported to date
Sherri McFarland discussing how ML8500 is supporting her research Study protocol to determine wavelength, fluence, and irradiance activities of Os-4T: Key observations Illumination parameters significantly affected the phototoxicity of Os-4T. The green light (525 nm) was more effective than the red light (630 nm) at lower fluences, while the maximal potency was achieved at both wavelengths when using fluences higher than 100 J/cm2. Irradiance affected the potency with both the red and the green light that were more effective when lower irradiances Continue reading →Customer case Research by: University of Texas at Arlington, US.
