Semiconductor matieral developed and used in life science research in the past few years has generated quite a lot of interest. What exactly are Qdot nanocrystals? What advantages does this fluorescence technology offer? There is published work being done in many areas of microscopy including fixed and live cell imaging, 2-photon microscopy, IHC, clinical pathology applications, electron microscopy, and in vivo imaging. There are also emerging applications for the nanocrystals in flow cytometry allowing for more multiplexing with a single laser excitation source, and multicolor western blotting. At the end of the presentation, we will go over the advantages and disadvantages of Qdot nanocrystals and where they fit as fluorescence tools in life science research along side the traditional organic dye fluorophores.
