Beschreibung

General description

2,5-Diphenyloxazole (DPO), also known as PPO, is a high-purity scintillator with an assay of 99%. This compound has a molecular weight of 221.25 g/mol and is suitable for use in liquid scintillation spectrometry. DPO exhibits fluorescence at a wavelength of 375 nm and serves as an effective wavelength shifter in liquid samples due to its high quantum yield and significant Stokes shift. It is widely used in radiation detection applications and as a dopant in plastic scintillators.

Preparation Note: 2,5-Diphenyloxazole should be stored in a cool, dry place, protected from light to maintain its properties. It is recommended to handle the powder with appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves and eye protection. Ensure that all work with the compound is performed in a well-ventilated area to minimize exposure.

Application

PPO can be used as a dopant that improves the photo-electric feedback of plastic scintillators which are used as radiation detectors for nuclear materials. It can be coated on peptide substrates to facilitate radioactive labelling which can enable determination of substrate specificity of lysine methyltransferase enzymes. It may also be used in the fabrication of organic luminescent materials which can be used in light emitting diodes (LEDs).
