  • Carbohydrate-Encapsulated Quantum Dots for Bilogical Imaging
    Publication number: 20080039816
    Abstract: Bio-functionalized quantum dots include a luminescence-enhancing mercaptoalkanoic acid and/or an ethylene glycol linked to the surface of a nanocrystalline core and a biofunctional group linked to the surface. The bio-functionalized quantum dots are made by an efficient synthesis method. The bio-functionalized quantum dots can be used in imaging or therapy applications.
