The recent Qdot email string has inspired me to ask if those working with Qdots could post an update of their experiences. In particular, issues to address:1. There are 2 (more?) commercial sources of Qdots: Quantum Dot Corp. (www.qdots.com) and Evident Tech (www.evidenttech.com). Any comments on the relative merits of the products each produces? 2. Upstate Biotech (http://www.upstate.com/features/anti_conj.asp) does custom conjugations using the Evident Technology Qdots. Any experience there?3. Cost issues? 4. Pros & cons? 5. Suggested papers. I found 2 below that touch upon their use in polychromatic flow cytometry. Any other suggestions or preprints? Thanks! Calman Telford WG. Analysis of UV-excited fluorochromes by flow cytometry using near-ultraviolet laser diodes. Cytometry. 2004 Sep;61A(1):9-17. Perfetto SP, Chattopadhyay PK, Roederer M.
