Aluminum foil as a substrate for metal enhanced fluorescence of bacteria labelled with quantum dots, shows very large enhancement and high contrast

Very high surface/metal enhanced fluorescence was observed for E. coli single bacteria cells labeled with composite CdSeS/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) on three substrates: aluminum foil, aluminum film and gold film. The enhancement factors relative to maximum fluorescence intensity on glass for those subs...
