This work introduces non-covalent hydrophilic coating of NaGd0.7Eu0.3F4 nanocrystals by polylysine (PL) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) for MRI and fluorescent imaging purposes. PL- and PEI-stabilized nanocrystals exhibit high
colloidal stability, cell internalization, fluorescent contrasting of nuclei and cytoplasm, low cytotoxicity, and relaxivity (r1 = 0.17 dm3 mmol−1 s−1 and r1 = 0.23 dm3 mmol−1 s−1).
