A use of nitrogen-doped carbon fluorescent quantum dots in preparation of aerobic glycolysis detection products is provided. The carbon-nitrogen fluorescent quantum dots are selected from one or more of C3N4 quantum dots, C2N quantum dots, and C3N quantum dots. The aerobic glycolysis detection products are reagents, based on a final volume of the reagents, the reagents comprise the carbon-nitrogen fluorescent quantum dots with a final concentration of 1 μg/mL-1 mg/mL. The present disclosure realizes fluorescent labeling of NAD+ in living cells using the carbon-nitrogen fluorescent quantum dots, thus achieving fluorescent labeling and imaging of cells having aerobic glycolysis, which has the advantages of low cost, high efficiency, rapidity, and high accuracy. Meanwhile, the present disclosure is conducive to developing a series of technologies such as fluorescence identification of exfoliated tumor cells, very early warning of tumors, detection of tumor metastases, and assessment of tumor proliferation and malignancy.
