One of the more valuable properties of QDs is their fluorescence spectrum, which renders them optimal fluorophores for biomedical imaging (Alivisatos 2004; Chan et al.
The fluorescence yield, which is a property of a solution or a suspension, is defined as the product of the fluorophore concentration and the molecular quantum yield.
Quantum dots could provide faster, more sensitive, and maybe cheaper imaging than conventional fluorophores do, says Nie, a researcher at the Georgia Institute of Technology and director of cancer nanotechnology for the Winship Cancer Institute at Emory University in Atlanta.
