Fig 4. Fluorescence emission spectra of CPNs™ from Stream Bio’s (spanning 420 nm to 1000 nm). CPNs™ fluorescence at specific wavelengths is due to the chemical composition. The excitation and emission characteristics of the CPNs™ are tailored by selecting specific conjugated polymers for the core.

Fig 6. Multiple replicates show consistent strong signal from CPNs™ with higher sensitivity than Europium.

Fig 7. Nitrocellulose membrane spotted with 50 ng of full-length spike protein, S1, and RBD of the virus SARS-CoV2. The image was captured using the UV epi (365 nm) and Cy™2 (525BP20) filter for the CPN510B signal.

Fig 5. CPN610 or europium was used as detection agents by linking to anti-hCG detection antibodies. The strips were imaged using the ImageQuant™ 800 and the signal from the test and control lines analyzed to give a mean pixel intensity for each line. The image was captured using the Blue epi (460 nm) and Cy™3 UV filter for the CPN610 signal and UV epi (365 nm) and Cy™3 UV filter for the europium signal. White grayscale was used to indicate fluorescence signal, i.e., a high signal is shown as white in the image.

Fig 9. Lateral flow strips were run using a range of infrared CPNs™ as detection agents and the strips were imaged using four different filter sets on the ImageQuant™ 800. White grayscale was used to indicate fluorescence signal, i.e., a high signal is shown as white in the image.

Fig 10. Mouse-anti-CD44 (500 ng 1 ?g) was run on a PAGE gel and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane. The membrane was probed with CPN840 linked to anti-mouse IgG which selectively bound, giving a bright signal at the expected size (150 kDa). The image was captured using the 660 nm IR short epi and 46 nm IR long (836BP) filter for the CPN840 signal. White grayscale was used to indicate fluorescence signal, i.e., a high signal is shown as white in the image.
