About the product

Core/shell semiconductor nanocrystals in a colloidal aqueous solution stabilized with thioglycolic acid (TGA). The emission peak is tuned from 550 to 750 nm by changing the stoichiometry of the AgInS₂ core.

The material contains no cadmium-group heavy metals and is suitable for surface functionalization. It is used for luminescent labels and as a photosensitizer for generating reactive oxygen species.

Key benefits

  • Precise tuning of the emission wavelength
  • High stability of the colloidal solution
  • No cadmium-group heavy metals
  • Surface ready for functionalization
