New Carbon Materials: Biological Applications of Functionalized Nanodiamond Materials
TLDR
The surface structure and functionalisation of diamond nanoparticles are discussed, non-covalent as well as covalent grafting of bioactive moieties is possible, and first applications of fluorescent diamond nanop particles are described.Abstract:
Nanoscale diamond particles have become an interesting material. Due to their inertness, small size and surface structure, they are well-suited for biological applications, such as labelling and drug delivery. Here we discuss the surface structure and functionalisation of diamond nanoparticles. Non-covalent as well as covalent grafting of bioactive moieties is possible, and first applications of fluorescent diamond nanoparticles are described.read more

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the results of characterization and application of single fluorescent nanodiamonds as cellular biomarkers, and showed that under the same excitation conditions, the fluorescence of a single 35-nm diamond is significantly brighter than that of a simple dye molecule such as Alexa Fluor 546, which was photobleached in the range of 10 s at a laser power density of 104 W/cm2.
