The optimal conditions of preparation of aqueous suspensions of individual single-wall carbon nanotubes with Pluronic F127 surfactant have been determined. The variable parameters are the surfactant concentration, the regimes of ultrasonication and ultracentrifuging. The stable suspensions of bio-molecules (such as albumin) and nanotubes dispersed with Pluronic have been demonstrated.
