General description

3,3′-Diethylthiacarbocyanine iodide (DTCI) is a cyanine dye, which acts as a donor in the electrochemical system. It can be used in the development of electrochemical cells.

Application

DTCI may be incorporated as a layer on gold nanorods, which can be used in surface enhanced resonance Raman spectroscopy (SERRS). It may be coated on a fused silica wafer, which can potentially be used in the development of solid state dye doped polymeric laser.

Developed in the last several years, fluorescence quenching microscopy (FQM) has enabled rapid, inexpensive, and high-fidelity visualization of two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene-based sheets and MoS2.

Graphene has emerged as the new wonder material. Being only one atom thick and composed of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice structure, the interest in this material has exploded exponentially since 2004 when it was first isolated and identified using a very simple method.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
