What Types of Nanomaterials are Used in Bio Labeling?
Several types of nanomaterials are commonly used for bio labeling, including: 1. Quantum Dots: These are semiconductor nanoparticles that emit light of specific wavelengths when excited. They are particularly useful for fluorescence imaging. 2. Gold Nanoparticles: Known for their excellent biocompatibility and unique optical properties, gold nanoparticles are used in various biosensing applications. 3. Magnetic Nanoparticles: These are used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and can also be manipulated using external magnetic fields for targeted drug delivery. 4. Carbon Nanotubes: These cylindrical nanostructures are used for both imaging and therapeutic applications due to their unique electrical and thermal properties.
