CdTe quantum dot functionalized silica nanosphere labels for ultrasensitive detection of biomarker

Chem Commun (Camb). 2009 May 21:(19):2670-2. doi: 10.1039/b900319c. Epub 2009 Mar 23.

Abstract

The enhanced sensitivity for detection of biomarkers based on CdTe quantum dot functionalized silica nanosphere labels can be achieved by an increase in CdTe QD loading per sandwiched immunoreaction.
