Abstract Luminescence color multiplexing is one of the most intriguing benefits which might occur by using semiconductor Quantum Dots QDs as labels for biomolecules. It was found that the luminescence of QDs can be quenched and replaced by a luminescence peak at approximately 460 nm on hybridization with certain regions of Arabidopsis thaliana tissue. This effect is site selective and it is unclear whether it occurs due to an energy transfer process or due to quenching and scattering of the excitation light. The article describes methods for phase-transfer of differently coloured hydrophobically ligated QDs
