| Bioactivity | ICG acid is a fluorescent dye used in medical diagnostics. ICG acid has absorption peaking at 800 nm and can absorb the near IR laser energy and release heat in the dyed tissue. ICG acid has been used in fluorescence-guided surgery to identify critical structures, including intra-abdominal tumors[1][2]. |
