PPO Scintillator, Neutrino Grade

Neutrino grade 2,5-Diphenyloxazole, commonly known as PPO, is a primary scintillator and allows for the direct transfer of energy between the excited solvent molecules and scintillators to produce a light signal capable of detection in a neutrino detector. Neutrino grade PPO has extremely low level of radioactive impurities.

Neutrino Grade PPO is only available in bulk quantities. Please inquire.

Overview

Neutrino grade PPO, IUPAC preferred name 2,5-Diphenyl-1,3-oxazole, has an aromatic ring structure fundamental for fluorescent properties.

Neutrino grade PPO is well-suited for use as a scintillator in neutrino detection and is used in maximizing the sensitivity of neutrino detectors. This grade of PPO has a high level of purity and can be used in experiments which require ultra-low background environments.

Revvity's neutrino grade PPO has high purity and a low level of trace amounts of Potassium-40 (40K) and Uranium/Thorium decay series elements.

The molecular formula of PPO is C15H11NO, a melting point of 70 - 72°C and a fluorescence maximum of 362 nm.
