Title:
MICELLAR COMPOSITIONS FOR USE IN BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/039535
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
This invention relates to a composition comprising a micelle for use in biological applications, the micelle comprising: a substantially water-insoluble conjugated polymer which exhibits luminescence or fluorescence from about 300 nm to about 1500 nm of the electromagnetic spectrum: a biocompatible surfactant and/or lipid: and a MRI active agent.
