Abstract

(Figure Presented) Bifunctional nanocomposites comprising semiconductor and magnetic nanoparticles are of interest in biological applications for biolabeling, bioimaging, and cell separation. To this end, a nanocomposite system that consists of Fe₂O₃ magnetic nanoparticles and CdSe quantum dots and which exhibits superparamagnetism and tunable emission properties was prepared and used to label different live cell membranes (see picture).
