Lighting‐up time : A cation‐exchange reaction releases thousands of divalent cations from nonfluorescent CdSe ionic crystals and triggers fluorescence from thousands of originally nonfluorescent Fluo‐4 fluorophores to obtain a large fluorescence amplification (see picture) and a low detection limit in bioassays. The technique is fast, simple, with a large dye‐to‐reporter labeling ratio, and flexible in selection of nanocrystals and fluorophores.
