Overview
Quantum Dot Long Circulation Cus@Lips represents a class of engineered nanoparticles combining semiconductor quantum dots with lipid bilayer encapsulation (liposomes). This hybrid nanostructure leverages the optical properties of quantum dots (narrow emission bands, high brightness) with the biocompatibility and prolonged circulation time afforded by PEGylated liposomes. The 'Cus' designation typically refers to copper sulfide components, though exact compositions vary by manufacturer. These materials are primarily developed for biomedical applications where traditional quantum dots face limitations due to rapid clearance or toxicity concerns.
Physical and Chemical Properties
The core-shell structure typically features a 2-10nm quantum dot core (often CdSe/ZnS or similar) surrounded by a lipid-PEG coating reaching 20-100nm total diameter. Surface modifications with carboxyl, amine, or maleimide groups enable bioconjugation. The liposomal encapsulation significantly improves hydrophilicity compared to bare quantum dots. Key optical characteristics include molar extinction coefficients >500,000 M-1cm-1 and quantum yields of 30-80% depending on core material. Emission wavelengths are tunable from 450-800nm by varying core size and composition. The PEG layer provides 'stealth' properties, reducing opsonization and extending plasma half-life to 10-24 hours in murine models.
Main Applications
In vivo imaging dominates current applications, particularly for lymph node mapping, tumor visualization, and cardiovascular imaging. The combination of NIR emission (700-800nm) and long circulation enables deep tissue penetration with reduced autofluorescence. Multimodal variants incorporate MRI contrast agents (e.g., Gd chelates) for complementary imaging. Therapeutic applications include photodynamic therapy (as photosensitizers) and drug co-delivery systems. Antibody-conjugated versions show promise for targeted delivery of chemotherapeutics, with the quantum dots serving as both targeting moieties and treatment response monitors.
Safety and Storage
While encapsulation reduces heavy metal leakage, regulatory compliance varies by jurisdiction. EU REACH requires documentation of cadmium content (<0.01% w/w for most biomedical uses). USP <232>/<233> elemental impurity limits apply for injectable formulations. Always request ICP-MS heavy metal analysis certificates. Storage requires strict temperature control (2-8°C) with inert gas overlay for oxygen-sensitive formulations. Shelf life typically ranges 3-6 months. Freeze-thaw cycles often damage liposomal integrity - aliquot working volumes accordingly. Sterile filtration (0.22μm) is mandatory for in vivo applications.
B2B Procurement Guide
Reputable suppliers should provide: 1) Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) reports showing hydrodynamic diameter and PDI (<0.2 ideal), 2) HPLC purity profiles (>95% monomeric fraction), 3) endotoxin testing results (<0.25 EU/mL for injectables). For research quantities (1-100mg), expect lead times of 2-4 weeks. GMP-grade production requires 3-6 month timelines with minimum order quantities of 1-5g. Custom modifications (targeting ligands, dual-labeling) increase costs by 30-100%. Always validate shipment conditions - some formulations require dry ice transit while others tolerate 4°C shipping.
