Nano Pros and Cons
  • Cons
  • US reflection proportional to r6
  • Resonance
  • fo 6500/d kHz
  • 1? 6.5 MHz but
  • 0.1 ? 65 MHz
  • More prone to removal by RES
  • Pros

Q-dots As Probes of Cellular Pathways
NANOSCALE Q-DOT RESEARCH
What are the Q-dots? The quantum dots (Evident
Technologies) are semiconductor nanocrystals
(diameter 2-10 nm) made from CdSe with an outside
shell of ZnS. Their size and their surface
chemistry are the main determinants of their
optical, electronic, and chemical properties. We
used Carboxyl and Amine terminated Qdots with
diameters of 20-30 nm.
Preliminary Experiments
  • Cell Types Bovine Aortic Endothelial Cells
    (BAEC) and Human Ductile
  • Carcinoma Cells (HDC)
  • Q-dots Lake Placid Blue (AT and CT terminated)
  • Techniques Syringe loading and Q-dot coating
  • Live/dead assay Calcein AM and Ethidium
    homodimer-1

NANOSCALE Q-DOT RESEARCH (Continued)
  • Valuable model system due to fluorescence can
    guide the understanding of other nanosystems.
  • Two types of cell cultures
  • 1. Bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC).
  • 2. Ductal carcinoma cells cancer cells.
  • Plate-coated with Q-dot solution.
  • With or without collagen culture cells.
  • Trypsinize centrifuge.
  • Fluorescence Microscopy to see if the cells
    did in fact uptake the Q-dots.

High Spatial and Spectral Resolution X-ray
Microscope
NANOSCALE X-RAY IMAGING RESEARCH
We expect to be able to achieve 10 frames of live
biological samples before we exceed the threshold
of radiation dosage that is tolerable for these
biological samples. One strategy is to increase
the number of frames after exceeding the
allowable dosage to move to the previously
unexposed neighboring region.
