Quality Control

Our Poly(3-Hexylthiophene-2,5-Diyl) is produced under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency critical for electronic applications. Quality is verified through a suite of analytical techniques including Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) for molecular weight distribution, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) for regioregularity, and UV-Vis spectroscopy for optical purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing regioregularity, number-average molecular weight (Mn), polydispersity index (PDI), and residual metal content are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a freezer at -20°C to -10°C under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) to minimize oxidation and thermal degradation. Allow the sealed container to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation. Keep away from heat and ignition sources.
