Biocompatible and Highly Luminescent Quantum Dots for Bioimaging

摘要

Methods for the synthesis of biocompatible and highly luminescent quantum dots are presented. Desirable spectral characteristics of quantum dots were achieved by fine tuning of reaction parameters. To obtain nanoconstructions quantum dots were functionalized with a number of biomolecules, synthesized materials were tested in vitro. Obtained results could be useful both in basic and applied research in which bioimaging methods are used.
