Application

MSA has been used to cap cadmium telluride quantum dots(QDs) and nanocrystals for a wide range of applications like detection of benzoic acid and total paraben based preservatives in food items, biological fluorescent labelling in bio-imaging and can bond with antibodies or antigens for biomedical applications. MSA may be coated on gold nanoparticles(AuNPs) as a reducing agent and a surface modifier that finds potential application in fluorescent detection of mercury.

General description
