Application

Our rare earth doped upconversion nanoparticles possess inorganic fluoride host lattices and can be easily excited with near-infra-red (NIR: 980 nm) light source. These Cd-free nanoparticles exhibit characteristic emission peak and are well suited for applications as luminescent biological labels and as spectral converters for increasing solar cell efficiency cell.[1][2][3]

A new method is presented for preparing gram amounts of very small core/shell upconversion nanocrystals without additional codoping of the particles. First, ca. 5 nm β-NaYF4:Yb,Er core particles are formed by the reaction of sodium oleate, rare-earth oleate, and ammonium fluoride

Questions

  1. What is the lifetime of these particles?

    1 answer

    1. This product does not contain an expiration date. It contains a recommended retest date of two years after the quality release date. A recommended retest date is the period of time during which the product is expected to remain within established stability specifications, provided that it has been stored under defined conditions. After the Retest Date, product samples should be examined to ensure that the product is still in compliance with the established specifications. For more information, you may access the "Product Dating Information" document under "ADDITIONAL USEFUL DOCUMENTS ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS" at the bottom of the Quality Services page with this link: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/US/en/life-science/quality-and-regulatory-management/quality-services.
