Concentration measurements of cellular SPIONs.

Notes: (AC) HUVECs were cultured for 48 hours in medium containing 0–100 µgFe/mL SPIONs. The measured cellular SPION concentration is given in pgFe/cell and µgFe/mL cell lysate and is correlated to the SPION concentration in medium indicated as µgFe/mL medium and µgFe/cm2 cell culture plate surface. Cellular SPION concentrations were measured with (A) UVS, (B) MPS, and (C) AAS. The columns present data acquired with SEONLA (left panel), SEONLA-BSA (middle panel), and Rienso® (right panel). Data are expressed as the mean ± standard error (n=3 with technical triplicates). R2 represents the coefficient of determination.

Abbreviations: SPION, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle; UVS, ultraviolet spectrophotometry; MPS, magnetic particle spectroscopy; AAS, atomic adsorption spectroscopy; SEONLA, lauric acid-coated nanoparticles; SEONLA-BSA, lauric acid/albumin bovine serum hybrid-coated nanoparticles; HUVECs, human umbilical vein endothelial cells.
