Abstract: Luminescent quantum dots(QDs) are a promising alternative to organic dyes for biomedical assays and imaging.A new conjugation method, NHS mediated conjugating, for QDs and BSA was introduced.The QDs-BSA conjugates were confirmed, and their stability has been proved.Caenorhabditis elegans (C.elegans) were used as animal models, and the imaging of QDs in the organism was studied.

Key words: Quantum dots, BSA, Conjugate, C.elegan, Surface encapsulation, Imaging
