Silica microarray applications

Newer immunodetection applications, and particularly the so-called microarrays, employ new fluorescent probes such as europium chelates (Scorilas et al., 2000), lanthanide oxide nanoparticles (Dosev et al., 2005 Nichkova et al., 2006), fluoro-phore loaded latex beads (Orth et al., 2003), dye-doped silica nanoparticles (Zhou and Zhou, 2004 Yao et al., 2006), and inorganic nanocrystals (Gerion et al., 2003 Geho et al., 2005).
