Probing QD stablility: A convenient solvent-evaporation approach to prepare water-soluble, biocompatible CdSe/ZnS (core/shell) quantum dots (QDs, see figure) is reported. The QDs are modified with a surfactant and polyamidoamine molecules that possess an ester terminal group. This method avoids complicated multistep ligand-exchange procedures and makes versatile QD-based probes a possibility for investigating intracellular transport and other cellular-signaling pathways.
