Vivotag-750 fluorophore was labeled on the NPs such that each NP has around 2 VT-750 fluorophores. The linker N-succinimidyl iodoacetate (SIA) was dissolved in DMSO at 20 mg/mL. The two solutions were mixed to obtain a 1-to-7 mass ratio between iron oxide NPs and SIA for 2 hr at room temperature with shaking. Size exclusion chromatography (column diameter×height=1 cm×30 cm; media: Sephadex G-50-coarse) was used to separate out the excess SIA and to exchange NPs into borate buffer (50 mM sodium borate, 5 mM EDTA, pH 8.3).
