  • Water soluble nanocrystalline quantum dots capable of near infrared emissions
    Patent number: 9846161
    Abstract: A novel quantum dot capable of near infrared emissions at wavelengths of 750-1100 is made by forming solid solutions of metal sulfide, metal selenide or metal sulfide selenide by incorporating a suitable amount of an additional metallic element or elements to provide an emission wavelength in the range of 750 nm to 1100 nm. The quantum dots may be enabled for bioconjugation and may be used in a method for tissue imaging and analyte detection.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 12, 2014
    Date of Patent: December 19, 2017
    Assignee: DREXEL UNIVERSITY
    Inventors: Wei-Heng Shih, Wan Y. Shih, Hui Li, Ian McDonald, Andrew Kopek, Ryan O'Malley, Yu-Chieh Lu
