Bright, photostable detection labels are therefore essential for allergen microarrays designed for multiplexed IgE detection. However, conventional organic fluorophores suffer from low brightness and rapid photobleaching, thereby limiting microarray analytical performance. In contrast, fluorescent quantum dots (QDs) are exceptionally bright and photostable, enabling prolonged signal accumulation and offering new opportunities for ultrasensitive IgE detection. Here, we present a comprehensive comparative study of allergochips employing conventional conjugates of streptavidin with an organic dye (DyLight550\u2013Str) or QDs (QD565\u2013Str) for simultaneous detection of allergen-specific IgE antibodies covering a broad panel of allergens. Although the configuration of the commercial scanner used for recording the microarray fluorescence intensity was not optimized for QD fluorescence, the QD565\u2013Str bioconjugate enabled the identification of the IgE antibodies in approximately 70% of samples where they had been previously identified using the DyLight550\u2013Str reporter. In addition to microarray immunoassays, the optical properties and photobleaching behavior of both bioconjugates were investigated under conditions relevant to routine microarray diagnosis using diode lasers operating at excitation wavelengths of 398, 447, and 532 nm. Optical characterization showed that the shortest-wave visible spectral band (398 nm) was optimal for excitation of QD565\u2013Str in a wide concentration range, with a fluorescence intensity approximately 2.2-fold higher than that of DyLight550\u2013Str under its optimal excitation conditions (at 532 nm). The QD565\u2013Str bioconjugates exhibited orders of magnitude greater photostability in the allergochip, enabling long-term fluorescence signal accumulation, whereas DyLight550\u2013Str underwent pronounced photobleaching under the same conditions. Overall, the total fluorescence signal generated by QD565\u2013Str on the allergochip was more than an order of magnitude stronger than that of the DyLight550\u2013Str conjugate. These findings demonstrate strong potential for the use of QD bioconjugates in the development of a next-generation ultrasensitive IgE-detecting allergochip platform for multiplexed allergy diagnosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1021\/acsomega.6c06854","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,8]],"date-time":"2026-09-08T18:02:34Z","timestamp":1788890554000},"page":"56224-56234","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Quantum Dot Bioconjugates\nEnable Order(s)-of-Magnitude\nEnhancement of Immunoglobulin E Detection Sensitivity"],"prefix":"10.1021","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Aleksandr A.","family":"Knysh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Research Nuclear University MEPhI (Moscow Engineering Physics Institute) , , ,","place":["Moscow, Russia, 115409"]},{"name":"Life Improvement by Future Technologies (LIFT) Center , , ,","place":["Moscow, Skolkovo, Russia, 121205"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Evgeniia S.","family":"Gerasimovich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Research Nuclear University MEPhI (Moscow Engineering Physics Institute) , , ,","place":["Moscow, Russia, 115409"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alyona","family":"Sukhanova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universite\u0301 de Reims Champagne-Ardenne , BioSpecT UR-7504 , ,","place":["Reims, France, 51100"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8391-040X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Igor","family":"Nabiev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Research Nuclear University MEPhI (Moscow Engineering Physics Institute) , , ,","place":["Moscow, Russia, 115409"]},{"name":"Universite\u0301 de Reims Champagne-Ardenne , BioSpecT UR-7504 , ,","place":["Reims, France, 51100"]},{"name":"Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University (Sechenov University) , , ,","place":["Moscow, Russia, 119146"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"316","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026092211035916100_cit1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"485","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaci.2025.01.014","article-title":"Molecular allergy diagnosis enabling personalized medicine","volume":"156","author":"Matricardi","year":"2025","journal-title":"Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology"},{"key":"2026092211035916100_cit2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"9","DOI":"10.5414\/ALX01891E","article-title":"Allergen-specific IgE:\nComparison between skin prick test and serum assay in real life","volume":"3","author":"Bignardi","year":"2019","journal-title":"Allergologie Select"},{"key":"2026092211035916100_cit3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"35","DOI":"10.1016\/j.anai.2011.03.017","article-title":"Comparison\nof conventional and component-resolved diagnostics by two different\nmethods (Advia-Centaur\/Microarray-ISAC) in pollen allergy","volume":"107","author":"Lizaso","year":"2011","journal-title":"Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology"},{"key":"2026092211035916100_cit4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"110","DOI":"10.1007\/s11882-012-0318-8","article-title":"Overview of component\nresolved diagnostics","volume":"13","author":"Treudler","year":"2013","journal-title":"Current Allergy and Asthma\nReports"},{"key":"2026092211035916100_cit5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1609","DOI":"10.1111\/all.13399","article-title":"Diagnostic\naccuracy, risk assessment, and cost-effectiveness of component-resolved\ndiagnostics for food allergy: A systematic review","volume":"73","author":"Flores Kim","year":"2018","journal-title":"Allergy"},{"key":"2026092211035916100_cit6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"189","DOI":"10.1007\/s40521-016-0084-2","article-title":"Monitoring allergen immunotherapy\neffects by microarray","volume":"3","author":"Lupinek","year":"2016","journal-title":"Curr.
