Intracellular Zn2+ detection with quantum dot-based FLIM nanosensors Ripoll, Consuelo Martín, Miguel Roldán Ortíz, María del Mar Talavera Rodríguez, Eva María Orte Gutiérrez, Ángel Ruedas Rama, María José Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) Quantum dot Nanosensors Nanoparticles Cells Cellular therapy Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) has been employed for the detection of intracellular Zn2+ levels, implicated in various signalling pathways, using a family of quantum dot (QD) nanosensors. The sensing mechanism was based on photoinduced electron transfer (PET) between an azacycle receptor group and the QD nanoparticles. 2017-09-22T07:38:55Z 2017-09-22T07:38:55Z 2015 journal article Ripoll, C.; et al.
