Lumidots

Lumidot Products | Technical Notes | Related Products Lumidots are Quantum Dot (QD) nanoparticles semiconductor nanocrystals that emit monochromatic light (luminesce) under light or electrical stimulation. We offer a complete line of core-shell CdSe/ZnS Lumidots with emission colors spanning the entire visible spectrum. The core-shell Lumidots have bright and narrow emission combined with improved stability for demanding optoelectronics and imaging applications. Additionally, single-component (core) CdSe and CdS Lumidots are available in convenient kits grouped in UV (CdS) and visible (CdSe) spectral regions. Core-shell Lumidots Aldrich Materials Science, in collaboration with Nanoco Technologies, Ltd., is pleased to offer core-shell Lumidots the highest quality CdSe/ZnS quantum dot nanocrystals for your demanding research applications. Benefits include: Narrow size distribution Bright, narrow emission characterized by high Quantum Yield 30-50% and narrow Full-Width-at-Half-Maximum (FWHM) Core-shell structures for improved luminescent yield and stability in applications Supplied as easy-to-handle 5 mg/ml solutions in toluene

Lumidot Kits CdS and CdSe Lumidot kits contain groups of simple single-component (core) nanocrystals with emission spectra across UV (CdS) and visible (CdSe) parts of spectrum. The kits provide a convenient and cost-effective option to explore application of QDs for your research. Core QDs are less stable and have lower quantum yields compared to core-shell nanocrystals. However, they are inexpensive and can offer advantages for applications requiring simple single-component semiconductor nanoparticles.
