Description

Dihematoporphyrin Ether is a synthetic porphyrin derivative with significant photochemical properties. This compound is of critical importance in advanced photodynamic research and development due to its ability to act as a photosensitizer. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D teams, academic research institutions, and specialty chemical manufacturers focused on photodynamic therapy (PDT) and related light-activated applications.

Application

• Primary research and development of novel photodynamic therapy (PDT) agents for oncology.
• Investigational studies in antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation (aPDI) for disinfectants.
• As a key intermediate or reference standard in the synthesis of advanced porphyrin-based compounds.
• Fundamental photochemistry and photophysics research in academic and industrial laboratories.
• Development of light-activated systems for materials science applications.
• Evaluation in diagnostic imaging research leveraging its photophysical characteristics.

Quality Control

Our Dihematoporphyrin Ether is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, meeting the stringent requirements for research-grade materials. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity (HPLC), identification (IR/UV-Vis), and related substances are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, long-term storage is recommended under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C).
