Traditional organic fluorophores, like cyanine dyes, suffer from their poor stability and weak brightness of individual molecule. In this work, a novel cyanine dye with a large Stokes shift ( similar to 75 nm) was encapsulated inside silica nanoparticles. The obtained small fluorescent silica nanoparticle (FSNP) exhibits more than ten times brightness than the free dye. The enhanced fluorescence brightness was assigned to the less homo Forster resonance energy transfer (HFRET) between multiple fluorophores, which was confirmed by the longer fluorescence lifetime of FSNP with a large Stokes shift than that with a normal Stokes shift. The FSNP's photostability is much better than organic fluorophores and comparable with that of Quantum Dots. When used in bioimaging, the FSNP remained a stable fluorescence signal, while the control free dye faded within 12 h. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
