Water-soluble quantum dots for biomedical applications.
Semiconductor nanocrystals are 1-10nm inorganic particles with unique size-dependent optical and electrical properties due to quantum confinement (so they are also called quantum dots). Quantum dots are new types of fluorescent materials for biological labeling with high quantum efficiency, long-term photostability, narrow emission, and continuous absorption spectra. Here, we discuss the recent...
متن کاملSynthesis of amphiphilic triblock copolymers as multidentate ligands for biocompatible coating of quantum dots.
One barrier to apply current tri-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) based quantum dots (QDs) to biomedical imaging is that the TOPO on TOPO-QDs can be replaced by the proteins in living system, which may cause the degradation of QDs and/or deactivation of protein. In order to develop biocompatible optical imaging agents, a novel triblock copolymer, designed as a multidentate ligand, was synthesized to...
متن کاملWater-soluble off-on spin-labeled quantum-dots conjugate.
Quantum dots (QDs) have some desirable properties that would circumvent the functional limitations encountered by conventional organic dyes in biotechnological applications. They show narrow and tunable emission bands that make multiple-color measurement possible, broad absorption spectra that allow simultaneous excitation of several particle sizes at a single wavelength, and excellent photosta...
متن کاملCytotoxicity tests of water soluble ZnS and CdS quantum dots.
Cytotoxicity tests of zinc sulfide (ZnS) and cadmium sulfide (CdS) quantum dots (QDs) synthesized via all-aqueous process with various surface conditions were carried out with human endothelial cells (EA hy926) using two independent viability assays, i.e., by cell counting following Trypan blue staining and by measuring Alamar Blue (AB) fluorescence. The ZnS QDs with all four distinct types of ...
متن کاملWater-Soluble Silicon Quantum Dots with Quasi-Blue Emission
In this study, water-soluble silicon quantum dots have quasi-blue emission at 390 nm by being capped with 1-vinylimidazole in resese micelles. As-obtained silicon quantum dots have a diameter of 2~5 nm and high crystallinity. The quasi-blue emission of the silicon quantum dots is likely attributed to the polarity of the capping ligands. Moreover, the silicon quantum dots are water-soluble and h...
