Ratiometric and time-resolved fluorimetry from quantum dots featuring drug carriers for real-time monitoring of drug release in situ.
An effective ratiometric and time-resolved fluorimetry was described. On the basis of Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) and fluorescent drugs, poly(ethylene glycol)-modified QDs were successfully prepared and further developed as QDs featuring carriers for real-time monitoring of drug release in situ.
