Abstract:
Characterization data of fluorescent nanoparticles made of cellulose acetate (CA-dots) are shown. The data in this article accompanies the research article "Ultrabright fluorescent cellulose acetate nanoparticles for imaging tumors through systemic and topical applications" [1]. The measurements and calculation of brightness of individual CA-dots are presented. The description of conjugation procedure Pluronic F127-Folic Acid copolymer and folic acid is shown. Identification of composition of CA dots using Raman and absorbance spectroscopy is demonstrated. The methods for image analysis of efficiency of CA-dot targeting of epithelial tumors xenografted in zebrafish is presented.

How Data are Classified: Categorical Data
Data are classified based on whether they are measurable or not. Categorical data cannot be measured; instead, it can be divided into categories. For example, if Y denotes a person's party affiliation, some examples of Y include...
