"Organic solar cells" utilize inexpensive materials and have an easy manufacturing process, which is expected to significantly reduce costs compared to silicon solar cells, making them the next generation of solar cells. There are two strong candidates: "dye-sensitized solar cells" and "organic thin-film solar cells," both of which are being promoted by the NARD Institute. "Organic thin-film solar cells" use organic semiconductors such as fullerene and phthalocyanine, and high purity of the compounds is required. Our company conducts the synthesis and purification of dyes based on our extensive knowledge and experience in organic synthesis, and we can also propose synthetic routes for newly designed materials for solar cells.

Betaine is a compound with a structure where three alkyl chains are attached to the amino group of an amino acid, possessing both positive and negative charges within the molecule. The alkyl chain portion is hydrophobic, while the zwitterionic part is hydrophilic. "Betaine 5" utilizes the properties of this betaine to enable the high-concentration solubilization of poorly water-soluble dyes. This technology is expected to allow for more precise detection when used in staining techniques such as ELISA. For inquiries regarding product and technology information, please feel free to contact us. 【Features】 ■ Contains both positive and negative charges within the molecule ■ The alkyl chain portion is hydrophobic, while the zwitterionic part is hydrophilic ■ Capable of high-concentration solubilization of poorly water-soluble dyes *For more details, please refer to the related link page or feel free to contact us.
