Upconverting Nanoparticles:
New generation of fluorophores, also known as upconverting nanoparticles, have the ability to convert lower-energy near-infrared radiation into higher-energy visible and ultraviolet radiation through a nonlinear optical process. They are known for their low autofluorescence, excellent chemical and thermal photostability, and deep tissue penetration. Currently, these upconverting nanoparticles have attracted a great deal of interest, mainly due to their potential applications in bioimaging and therapeutics.

Our Products
Oil dispersible core-shell upconverting nanoparticles are a type of nanomaterial designed for efficient light conversion and are tailored for use in non-polar and hydrophobic environments. An upconverting nanoparticle system has two main components, the host material, which acts as the lattice of the whole system, and the dopant. The host material forms the lattice framework of the nanoparticles and is usually made from a fluoride-based material. Dopants are ions incorporated into the host lattice and are crucial for the upconversion process. They absorb near-infrared light and convert it into visible or ultraviolet light.
