Evaluation of the thermal stability of freely dissolved ICG and RIPND-entrapped ICG. (I) UV-Vis spectra of freely dissolved ICG in DI water (A,B) and RIPND-entrapped ICG (C,D) under 4 (A,C) and 37°C (B,D) without light exposure for 0, 12, 24, and 48 h. The absorbance at λ = 780 nm indicates the amount of ICG remaining in each sample at the time of measurement. (II) Quantitative analyses of residual ICG in the matrix under 4 or 37°C within 48 h. Values are mean ± s.d. (n = 3). P < 0.05.
