(1) Introduction: Near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) combined with tumour-targeted tracers, such as bevacizumab-800CW, could aid surgical decision-making. This study explored the use of IRDye800CW, conjugated to bevacizumab, with four commercially available NIRF laparoscopes optimised for indocyanine green (ICG). (2) Methods: A (lymph node) phantom was made from a calibration device for NIRF and tissue-mimicking material. Serial dilutions of bevacizumab-800CW were made and ICG functioned as a reference. System settings, working distance, and thickness of tissue-mimicking material were varied to assess visibility of the fluorescence signal and tissue penetration. Tests were performed with four laparoscopes: VISERA ELITE II, Olympus; IMAGE1 S™ 4U Rubina, KARL STORZ; ENDOCAM Logic 4K platform, Richard Wolf; da Vinci Xi, Intuitive Surgical. (3) Results: The lowest visible bevacizumab-800CW concentration ranged between 13-850 nM (8-512 times diluted stock solution) for all laparoscopes, but the tracer was not visible through 0.8 cm of tissue in all systems. In contrast, ICG was still visible at a concentration of 0.4 nM (16,384 times diluted) and through 1.6-2.4 cm of tissue. Visibility and tissue penetration generally improved with a reduced working distance and manually adjusted system settings. (4) Conclusion: Depending on the application, bevacizumab-800CW might be sufficiently visible with current laparoscopes, but optimisation would widen applicability of tumour-targeted IRDye800CW tracers.
