RII Track-4:NSF: In-vitro Cytotoxicity Assessment of Synthesized Quantum Dots for Enhanced — NSF Award to Louisiana Tech Universit
Quantum dots (QDs) are nano-sized particles, typically ranging from 2-10 nm, that are widely used as fluorescent cell-labeling tools. Some Cadmium-containing QDs have demonstrated effective cell imaging quality and high binding efficiency, but their toxicity poses risks to the life and function of the cells. Identifyin

| Abstract | Quantum dots (QDs) are nano-sized particles, typically ranging from 2-10 nm, that are widely used as fluorescent cell-labeling tools. Some Cadmium-containing QDs have demonstrated effective cell imaging quality and high binding efficiency, but their toxicity poses risks to the life and function of the cells. Identifying an optimal QD candidate with minimum hazards to the cells is crucial for the detection and tracking of a variety of living organisms. This proposed research will implement micro- |
