Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor crystals in the nanodimension having unique optical and electronic properties that differ from bulk material due to quantum mechanics. The QDs have a narrow emission peak, size-dependent emission wavelength, and broad excitation range which can be utilized for diverse biomedical applications such as molecular imaging, biosensing, and diagnostic systems. This article reviews the current developments of biomedical applications of QDs with special reference to point-of-care testing.
量子点（QDs）是纳米尺寸的半导体晶体，由于量子力学的原因，其具有与块状材料不同的独特光学和电子特性。量子点具有窄发射峰、尺寸依赖性发射波长和宽激发范围，可用于多种生物医学应用，如分子成像、生物传感和诊断系统。本文综述了量子点在生物医学应用方面的当前进展，特别提及了即时检测。
