Case study

Development of novel materials and synthetic techniques that transform the conventional paradigms of structural organic chemistry【Kyoto University】

The Institute for Chemical Research, at Kyoto University, is engaged in the synthesis of novel organic compounds and the elucidation of their properties. At this laboratory, research activities focus on the development of organic semiconductors and luminescent materials. These efforts encompass the design, synthesis, structural analysis, integration, and property evaluation of aromatic compounds. The evaluation of aromatic compounds requires a comprehensive set of measurements to clarify their optical and electronic characteristics. Our products are utilized in this laboratory to support these advanced characterization needs.

We interviewed Prof. Hiroko Yamada and Assoc. Prof. Mitsuaki Yamauchi about their research, the background behind their adoption of our products, and their perspectives on future research directions.

Establishment of absolute photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield measurement method and research on organic optoelectronics【Kyushu University】

To evaluate the organic optoelectronic materials and devices being developed by the Center for Organic Photonics and Electronics Research (OPERA), Kyushu University, various measurement methods such as photoluminescence(PL) quantum yield measurement and fluorescence lifetime measurement are required. For these evaluations, our Quantaurus series and streak cameras have been introduced.

We interviewed Prof. Chihaya Adachi, Director of the Center, and Assoc. Prof. Hajime Nakanotani about establishing absolute photoluminescence quantum yield measurement methods, the impact of our Quantaurus series on their research, and their prospects for future research.
