Description

1H-BENZ[E]INDOLIUM, 2-[3-[3-[3-(1,3-DIHYDRO-1,1,3-TRIMETHYL-2H-BENZ[E]INDOL-2-YLIDENE)-1-METHYL-1-PROPENYL]-5,5-DIMETHYL-2-CYCLOHEXEN-1-YLIDENE]-1-BUTENYL]-1,1,3-TRIMETHYL-, PERCHLORATE is a specialized cyanine dye salt, a high-value functional chemical characterized by its complex polymethine structure. This compound is critical for applications requiring precise light absorption and emission properties in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum. It is primarily sought by manufacturers and research institutions in the optical data storage, laser technology, and biomedical imaging sectors.

Application

• Optical Data Storage Media: As a key NIR-absorbing dye for recordable (CD-R, DVD-R) and high-density optical discs.
• Laser Technology: Active medium or saturable absorber in tunable dye lasers and for mode-locking in solid-state lasers.
• Biomedical Imaging & Diagnostics: Fluorescent labeling agent for in vivo and in vitro imaging, flow cytometry, and immunoassays.
• Nonlinear Optics (NLO): Component in materials for optical limiting, switching, and frequency conversion due to its high polarizability.
• Photodynamic Therapy (PDT): Potential photosensitizer candidate for targeted cancer treatments.
• Sensor Technology: Development of chemical sensors and biosensors based on fluorescence quenching or enhancement.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Fundamental research in photochemistry, material science, and the synthesis of novel functional dyes.

Quality Control

Our production of this high-purity cyanine dye adheres to strict quality management protocols. Each batch is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR, and UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy to ensure consistent spectral properties and chemical identity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, absorbance/fluorescence maxima, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its perchlorate salt nature and light-sensitive properties, the material should be kept away from heat, ignition sources, and incompatible materials. For long-term storage, consider desiccation or an inert atmosphere to maintain optimal stability.
