Popis: In this study, we described an easy and one-pot synthesis technique for high-quality CdZnS/ZnS core/shell quantum dots, which exhibit greater fluorescence at λ450 nm with steady quantum yields in both organic and aqueous solvents. At lower concentrations, they showed a decrease in cytotoxicity, which is more suitable for the biocompatible applications. Further, we successfully demonstrated the fluorescence imaging and sorting through the surface display of the quantum dots in MCF-7 and HELA cell lines using confocal microscopy and flow cytometer studies.
