NiraWave™ M, optical contrast agent by Miltenyi Biotec B.V. & Co. KG

NiraWave M is a micellar near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence contrast agent exhibiting a prolonged blood circulation and high quantum yield specifically formulated for pre-clinical optical imaging.

NiraWave M shows absorption and emission (fluorescence) in the NIR spectral range allowing an increased tissue penetration.

Due to the micellar formulation of indocyanine green, NiraWave M exhibits a stronger fluorescence, higher aqueous stability and prolonged blood circulation.
NiraWave M is excreted by the liver within hours.

NiraWave M is indicated for use in optical imaging of small animals, for example mice, to facilitate the visualization of the vasculature. Examples include fluorescence angiography and fenestration of blood vessels in inflamed tissue or tumors.
