Tumor markers play a significant role in early cancer diagnosis, evaluation of the extent of the disease, and monitoring of therapy response. In this study, we described the Pickering emulsion polymerization method to synthesize uniform magnetic/fluorescent microspheres. A Pickering-structure composed of a lot silica nanoparticle closely covered onto the quantum dot-encoded magnetic microbeads is designed and synthesized.

The combination of microbead array, isothermal amplification, and molecular signaling enables the continuous development of next-generation molecular diagnostic techniques. Herein we reported the implementation of nicking endonuclease-assisted strand displacement amplification reaction on quantum dots-encoded microbead (Qbead), and demonstrated its feasibility for multiplexed miRNA assay in real sample. The Qbead featured with well-defined core-shell superstructure with dual-colored quantum dots loaded in silica core and shell, respectively, exhibiting remarkably high optical encoding stability.

Multicolor optical coding for biological assays has been achieved by embedding semiconductor quantum dots into mesoporous and macroporous beads at precisely controlled ratios. Owing to their novel optical properties such as size-tunable emission and simultaneous excitation, quantum dots are ideal fluorophores for wavelength-and-intensity multiplexing. Kinetics study reveals that quantum dot doping of porous silica and polystyrene beads can be completed from seconds to minutes.
