Description

8-Dodecanoyloxypyrene-1,3,6-Trisulfonic Acid Trisodium Salt is a highly functionalized pyrene derivative, valued for its unique combination of a fluorescent polycyclic aromatic core with hydrophilic sulfonate groups and a hydrophobic alkyl chain. This amphiphilic structure makes it a critical functional material for advanced research and development. It is primarily sought by scientists and engineers in the fields of materials science, analytical chemistry, and photonics for creating sophisticated sensors, probes, and functional surfaces.

Application

• Fluorescent Probe Development: Acts as a key building block for creating sensitive and selective fluorescent probes and sensors for environmental monitoring and bioanalytical applications.
• Surface Modification & Functionalization: Used to impart specific wetting, adhesion, or sensing properties to materials like polymers, glass, and metals due to its amphiphilic nature.
• Supramolecular Chemistry & Self-Assembly: Serves as a functional unit in the design of novel supramolecular structures, micelles, and vesicles for drug delivery or nanotechnology.
• Advanced Material Synthesis: Incorporated into polymers, gels, or thin films to develop new optoelectronic materials, light-harvesting systems, or smart coatings.
• Analytical Chemistry Standards: Employed as a reference standard or a derivatization agent in chromatographic and spectroscopic methods.
• Research & Development: A vital tool in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new photophysical properties and chemical interactions.

Quality Control

Every batch of 8-Dodecanoyloxypyrene-1,3,6-Trisulfonic Acid Trisodium Salt is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the identity, purity, and consistency required for research and industrial applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay (HPLC), identity (IR, NMR), and impurity profiles is available for each lot upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product stability and performance.
