Blue shift of CdSe/ZnS nanocrystal-labels upon DNA-hybridization

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Luminescence color multiplexing is one of the most intriguing benefits, which might occur by using semiconductor Quantum Dots (QDs) as labels for biomolecules. It was found, that the luminescence of QDs can be quenched, and replaced by a luminescence peak at appr...
