Since their discovery, carbon dots have been of great scientific interest due to their unique properties, including strong fluorescence and biocompatibility, which determine their potential application in biosensorics, bioimaging, drug delivery, and many other fields. This paper presents a new approach for the synthesis of high quantum yield carbon dots with media-independent fluorescence developed in the process of searching for solutions to the problem of carbon dot’s application in immunochromatographic analysis.

С момента своего открытия углеродные точки представляют большой научный интерес благодаря своим уникальным свойствам, включая сильную флуоресценцию и биосовместимость, которые определяют их потенциальное применение в биосенсорике, биовизуализации, доставке лекарств и многих других областях. В данной статье представлены новые подходы к синтезу углеродных точек c высокой люминесцентнцией, разработанные в процессе поиска решения проблемы применения углеродных точек в иммунохроматографическом анализе.
