Abstract

The synthesis of magnetic and fluorescent particles is described. The particles are biofunctionalized by binding pathogen-specific proteins to the particles via interactions between His-tags of proteins and zinc of the quantum dots. Detection ofSalmonella and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) by these particles is demonstrated.
