The development of non‐toxic quantum dots and further investigation of their composition‐dependent cytotoxicity in a high‐throughput manner have been critical challenges for biomedical imaging and gene delivery. Herein, we report a rapid sonochemical synthetic methodology for generating a library of highly biocompatible ZnS‐AgInS 2 (ZAIS) quantum dots for cellular imaging and siRNA delivery.
