General description

Reactive group: Carboxylic acid.

Application

The organic layer of the CdS/ZnS or CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) with carboxylic acid as reactive group consist of a monolayer of oleic acid/octadecylamine and a monolayer of amphiphilic polymer. The total thickness of organic layers on these QDs is approximately 4 nm. They find many applications in bioimaging and biosensing.

Recent Advances in the Use of Cadmiumfree Quantum Dots for Bioimaging

Dr. Delehanty and researcher introduce recent advances in the use of cadmium-free quantum dots for bioimaging. Focus is placed on strategies that have emerged in the last five years for design, synthesis, and surface modifications of non-Cd quantum dots (QDs) for bioimaging and sensing applications.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
