Cancer, a life-threatening disease, has become a global pandemic. Targeted tumor imaging using near-infrared (NIR) light is the key to improve the penetration depth and it is highly promising for clinical tumor diagnostics. Driven by this need, in this Letter we have reported aptamer conjugated graphene oxide-based two-photon imaging of breast tumor cells selectively. Reported data indicate that there is an extremely high two-photon absorption from aptamer conjugated graphene oxide (sigma(2PA) = 46890 GM). Experimental data show that two-photon luminescence signal remains almost unchanged even after 2 h of illuminations. Reported results show that S6 RNA aptamers conjugated graphene oxide-based two-photon fluorescence can be used for selective two-photon imaging of SK-BR-3 breast tumor cell in second biological transparency windows using 1100 nm wavelength. Experimental data demonstrate that it is highly capable of distinguishing targeted breast cancer SK-BR-3 cells from other nontargeted MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells.
