Stability of Quantum Dots in Live Cells

Quantum dots (QDs) are highly fluorescent and photostable, making them excellent tools for imaging. When using these QDs in cells and animals, however, intracellular biothiols (e.g., glutathione and cysteine) can degrade the QD monolayer compromising function. Here, we describe a label-free method t...
