Abstract
Exceptionally long lived microbubbles containing a fluorocarbon as part of their filling gas have been obtained by using a fluorinated phospholipid instead of a standard phospholipid as shell component. An unexpected, strong synergistic effect between the fluorocarbon gas and the fluorinated phospholipid has been discovered. Such bubbles could be used for in vivo oxygen delivery, ultrasound contrast imaging and drug delivery.Entities:
