Quantitative Analysis of C - Reactive Protein (CRP) Using Quantum DOTs

In this study, a method of analyzing blood serum and quantification of C-reactive protein (CRP) using quantum dots is proposed. Blood serum is the one that contains many protein including CRP, and hence analyzing this could be helpful in diagnosing any disorder at the earliest. In this study, two experiments are done; one test on blood serum and the other on CRP. Initially, blood serum is separated from the blood and is taken in test tube is successively diluted using NaCl solution. These samples are illuminated using standard white light and the transmitted light is picked up from the color sensor (TCS2300). Similar kind of test is also performed on CRP samples at different concentration level. RGB values obtained from these two tests changes as the concentration of blood serum and CRP changes. Quantification of these colors would represent CRP concentration or concentration of protein content in the blood. Hence, by precisely calibrating these color changes against protein concentration would result in a device that could quantify blood chemical parameters.
