In this study novel fluorescent magnetic nanoparticles were prepared and used in high-efficient cellular imaging. The nanoparticles coated with the modified chitosan possessed a magnetic oxide core and a covalently attached fluorescent dye. We evaluated the feasibility and efficiency in labeling cancer cells SMMC-7721 with the nanoparticles. The nanoparticles exhibited a high affinity to cells which was demonstrated by flow cytometry and magnetic resonance imaging. The results showed that cell-labeling efficiency of the nanoparticles was dependent on the incubation time and nanoparticles concentration. The minimum detected number of labeled cells was around 104 by using a clinical MRI imager. Fluorescence and transmission electron microscopy instruments were used to monitor the localization patterns of the magnetic nanoparticles in cells. These new magneto-fluorescent nanoagents have demonstrated the potential for future medical use. Keywords Magnetic nanoparticle Fluorescence Chitosan Magnetic resonance imaging Y. Ge Y. Zhang S.
