Abstract

As our ability to synthesize and modify nanoobjects has improved, efforts to explore nanotechnology for diagnostic purposes have gained momentum. The variety of nanoobjects, especially those with polyvalent properties, displays a wide range of practical and unique properties well suited for applications in various diagnostics. This review briefly covers the broad scope of multivalent nanoobjects and their use in diagnostics, ranging from ex vivo assays and biosensors to in vivo imaging. The nanoobjects discussed here include silica nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, quantum dots, carbon dots, fullerenes, polymers, dendrimers, liposomes, nanowires, and nanotubes. In this review, we describe recent reports of novel applications of these various nanoobjects, particularly as polyvalent entities designed for diagnostics.
