MUMBAI, India, Dec. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511083265 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology Roorkee; and National Institute Of Solar Energy, Roorkee, Uttarakhand, on Sept. 2, for 'a fluorescent nontoxic micro/ nano-silica particles for in vitro cell-imaging and its method of synthesis.'
Inventor(s) include Prof. Arup Samanta; Dr. Mrinal Dutta; Prof. Partha Roy; Ms. Divya Rani; Ms. Deepika Singh; Mr. Anil Kumar; Ms. Monika; Ms. Anjali Saini; Mr. Partho Biswas; and Ms. Rachana.
The application for the patent was published on Dec. 12, under issue no. 50/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a fluorescent nontoxic micro/ nano-silica particles for in vitro cell-imaging and its method of synthesis. The silica micro/ nanoparticles with average sizes of 20 nm, 40 nm, 350 nm, and 1.2 m are synthesized using a Stober and modified Stober method. The present invention improves bioimaging agents which are cost-effective, highly fluorescent, non-toxic, biocompatible, and safe for use in biological applications. These particles enhance imaging clarity and reliability, demonstrating compatibility with bioimaging in cellular research."
