ABSTRACT
Quantum Dots (QDs) with its unique optical properties including broad-range excitation, sizetunable narrow emission spectra and the adjustable emission wavelength by changing the size of core composition, is widely applied in biomedicine as a fluorescent marker in recent years. This paper focuses on the review of the characteristic of ODs, the prospects of its applications in biological and medical areas and the latest research development.Moreover,key issues including the potential toxicity of ODs are discussed.
