What is Quantum Dot-Oligonucleotide Conjugation?

Attaching or linking oligonucleotides to quantum dots can form quantum dot-oligonucleotide conjugations. Quantum dots are semiconductor nanocrystals with unique optical and electronic properties that have a wide range of applications in bioimaging and sensing. The introduction of quantum dots into oligonucleotides allows them to be used for a wide range of biological imaging and sensing applications by providing both specific recognition of nucleic acids and the unique optical properties of quantum dots.

  • How to Get Quantum Dot-Oligonucleotide Conjugation

The conjugation of oligonucleotides to quantum dots can be achieved by a variety of methods, allowing different surface functionalisations of quantum dots or oligonucleotides depending on your needs, and finally by covalent linking to obtain different quantum dot-oligonucleotide conjugations.

  • High-profile Applications of Quantum Dot-Oligonucleotide Conjugation

1. Fluorescence in situ Hybridisation (FISH)

Quantum dot-oligonucleotide conjugations can be used as fluorescent probes in FISH assays, specifically binding to complementary DNA or RNA sequences in cells or tissues, allowing the visualisation and localisation of specific genetic material. The bright and stable fluorescence of quantum dots enhances the sensitivity and accuracy of FISH analysis.

2. Nucleic Acid Detection

Quantum dot-oligonucleotide conjugations can be applied to nucleic acid detection analysis by identifying and binding specific target sequences in the sample, allowing sensitive and specific detection of genetic material. And the fluorescent properties of quantum dots facilitate the quantification of target molecules.

3. Biosensing & Diagnostics

Quantum dot-oligonucleotide conjugations enable specific molecular targets to be labelled and imaged in biological samples, allowing high resolution visualisation of cellular processes, protein interactions and disease-related biomarkers.

4. Drug Delivery

Oligonucleotides can carry specific therapeutic sequences (e.g. siRNA or antisense oligonucleotides), while quantum dots can be used as delivery vehicles. Quantum dot-oligonucleotide conjugations can also enhance the cellular uptake and release of therapeutic agents, thus improving the therapeutic effect.
