Project
Red-infrared quantum dots for application in blood point-of-care testing
The goal of the project is to develop alpha-fetoprotein immunoassays in whole blood for effective point-of-care (POC) diagnostics, including optimal red-infrared (RIR) quantum dots (QDs), their surface modification, assay format and readout system. Comparison of assay outcomes for whole blood, plasma and serum will be performed to prove (or disprove) possibility of whole blood POC diagnostic based on immunoassay with RIR QD as label.
