Quantum dots (QDs) have been exploited for a range of scientific applications where the analytes can be expected to have significant photoluminescent properties. Previously, the applications of QDs as nanosensors for the detection of toxics in biospecimens, especially in cases of poisoning, have been discussed. This review focuses on the applications of QDs as biosensors for the detection of phytotoxins, vertebrate and invertebrate toxins, and microbial toxins present in biospecimens. Further, the role of QDs in the measurement of biochemical parameters of patient/victim as an indirect method of poison detection is also highlighted.
量子点（QDs）已被用于一系列科学应用中，在这些应用中，分析物有望具有显著的光致发光特性。此前，已经讨论了量子点作为纳米传感器在生物样本中检测毒物的应用，特别是在中毒情况下。本综述重点关注量子点作为生物传感器在检测生物样本中存在的植物毒素、脊椎动物和无脊椎动物毒素以及微生物毒素方面的应用。此外，还强调了量子点在测量患者/受害者生化参数作为毒物检测间接方法中的作用。
