Cyanine fluorophores including a nine-carbon polymethine bridge are disclosed. The cyanine fluorophores have absorbance and/or emission maxima in the near-infrared (NIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) wavelength ranges. Methods of making and using the cyanine fluorophores are also disclosed. The compounds are useful in fluorescence imaging, more particularly in cancer treatment. The compounds have generic formula (I): ##STR00001##

A process can be used for preparing nano- or microparticles containing a carrier-polymer and a biologically active ingredient. The process is a solvent emulsion process involving an organic phase (OP) and an aqueous phase (AP) to form an emulsion. In the case of an oil-in-water emulsion (O/W), the organic phase (OP) contains the biologically active ingredient dissolved or dispersed therein. Alternatively, in the case of a water-in-oil emulsion (W.sub.1/O), the aqueous phase (AP) contains the biologically active ingredient dissolved or dispersed therein. The organic phase (OP) is saturated with the salt-containing aqueous phase (AP) and vice versa.
