Nanotechnologies — Method to estimate cellular uptake of carbon nanomaterials using optical absorption

This document describes a near-infrared optical absorption method to estimate the in vitro cellular uptake of carbon nanomaterials including both internalized and/or tightly adhered to the cell membrane from liquid dispersions. This is a simple method to screen carbon nanomaterials uptake; additional analysis using a different technique can be required if quantification is desired.

Introduction
Owing to their unusual physical and chemical properties, carbon nanomaterials (CNMs), such as
carbon nanotubes, carbon black, graphene, and carbon nanohorns, have been considered for various
applications such as in the fields of electronics, energy, nanotechnology, and biology. With the increase
of CNM-based products on the market, the public concern regarding possible toxicities has also
increased. Estimation of the amount of CNM associated with the targeted cells is useful for an initial
[1][2][3][4]
toxicological screening of CNMs and for developing applications in medicine .
Fluorescent dyes and/or radioactive isotopes have been routinely used to measure cellular uptake.
Because CNMs absorb light in near infrared (NIR) region, where the bio-components such as protein
and water in cells or tissues have relatively low light absorption, the cellular uptake of CNMs can be
[5][6][7][8]
estimated from the absorbance of cell-lysate .
