Quantum Dot Applications for Detection of Bacteria in Water

Semiconductor nanocrystals, otherwise known as Quantum dots (Q dots), are a new type of fluorophore that demonstrates many advantages over conventional organic fluorophores. These advantages offer the opportunity to improve known immunofluorescent methods and immunofluorescent biosensors for rapid a...
