Functionalization of SWNTs with fluorophores attracts considerable attention for biomedical applications, however, the quenching phenomenon of fluorophores is main problem when fluorophores directly adsorbed onto SWNT surfaces.
We have succeeded in labeling fluorophore toward SWNTs with slight quenching by pretreating SWNT surfaces with ssDNA. Moreover, the quenching phenomenon of fluorophores could be controlled by regulating base sequence of fluorescent DNA on ssDNA-SWNT surfaces.
