Haugland, Handbook of Fluorescent Probes and Research Chemicals (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR, ed. 6, 1995)]. The integrated emission intensities for single QDs and single latex spheres were measured and compared under identical experimental conditions. The single-dot phototuminescence was about one-seventeenth that of a single latex sphere and thus was estimated to be equal to the total emission intensity of 20 R6G molecules.

34. Quantitative measurements showed that the intensity variations among the discrete luminescent signals were within a factor of 3. Thus, the observed signals arose primarily from single QDs and, perhaps, a small population of double-and triple-dot aggregates. Protein BSA should adsorb nonspecifically on the QDs, but it did not cause particle aggregation.
