Abstract:

The labeling technology using quantum dots has gained quick development in recent years. Due to the characteristics of accuracy, high sensitivity, good stability and high specificity, this technology has been extensively used in the field of biomedicine. In this paper, properties and detection strategies of quantum dot technology are reviewed, which will extend its application in rapid detection for food safety.

Key words: quantum dots, food safety, rapid detection
