“…As PQDs [16][17][18] not only have advantages such as long uorescence lifetime, high selectivity, broad linearity range, high sensitivity and good repeatability but also can avoid disturbance from background uorescence and scattered light of the biological uid, 19,20 especially Mn-ZnS QDs, which have superior optical properties, have been widely applied in the biomolecular detection process. 21,22 If DNA-PQDs are prepared using DNA as the template, this will greatly widen the application range of existing Mn-ZnS PQDs in biology.…”
