A deuterium atom in the right place mitigates the 60-year problem of aqueousIndocyanineGreen (ICG) instability. A clinical stock solution of heavy ICG in water can be stored for an extended period without significant loss of fluorescence brightness; this will improve the effectiveness of various biomedical imaging, diagnostic and therapy procedures.
