Quantum Dots

Quantum dots are semiconductor nanostructures that bind excitons in three spatial directions. Sometimes referred to as artificial atoms, superlattices, superatoms or quantum dot atoms, this is a new concept introduced in the 1990s. Quantum dots are considered to be one of the most promising nanostructures for in vitro diagnostic applications. Due to their bright fluorescence, narrow emission, broad excitation and high photostability, they are considered ideal candidates as fluorescent probes for long-term imaging to track whole cells or intracellular biomolecules.

Characteristics of Quantum Dot Materials

Quantum-limited field effect
Surface effect
Macroscopic quantum tunneling effect
Dielectric limit field effect
Coulomb blocking effect

QDs-Liposome

Liposomes are greatly utilized in the process of improving the performance of quantum dots. Liposomes loaded with quantum dots are mainly distributed in tumors, liver and spleen. They can be removed by the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS).
