Getting Started
- What is the basic structure of a Qdot nanocrystal?
- What advantages do Qdot™ nanocrystals offer over traditional fluorescent dyes?
- What mounting media should I use with Qdot nanocrystals?
- Which buffers are compatible with the Qdot Streptavidin Conjugates?
- What is the difference between an ITK Qdot nanocrystal product and a standard Qdot nanocrystal product?
Troubleshooting
- I see a small amount of aggregate in my Qdot nanocrystals product even though I stored it correctly. Why is this happening?
- Why do my Qdot nanocrystals appear to be blinking?
- Why can’t I freeze my Qdot nanocrystal solution?
- I am getting no signal with my Qdot streptavidin conjugate. What should I do?
- I see a white precipitate in my ITK Qdot nanocrystals; should I be concerned?
