Abstract

Highlights: [•] UCNP synthesis and surface modifications, and UC mechanisms and theory are discussed. [•] Examples of UCNPs as passive labels and as donors in LRET based assays are described. [•] Optical multiplexing capacity of UCNPs for diagnostics and imaging is considered. [•] UCNPs are described for use as in vivo biomarkers for multi-modal imaging and theranostics.
