2-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-5-(4-phenylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole, more commonly known as Butyl-PBD or b-PBD is a primary scintillator that directly absorbs energy from radiation and re-emits it as photons. Butyl-PBD is generally used with a secondary scintillator that can shift the wavelength to match the sensitivity of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) found in liquid scintillation analyzers (LSAs) such as TriCarb™ or Quantulus GCT™.
Butyl-PBD is available in a 100g bottle for your research needs.
Bulk quantities of Butyl-PBD are available as catalog number 6002159.

Butyl-PBD, IUPAC preferred name 2-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-5-(4-phenylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole, has an aromatic ring structure fundamental for fluorescent properties.
Butyl-PBD is often paired with secondary scintillator Bis-MSB which acts as a wavelength shifter to re-emit light in the ultraviolet (UV) or visible ranges which is essential for detecting with PMT based detectors.
Butyl-PBD has a molecular formula of C24H22N2O, a melting point between 137 - 139°C and a fluorescence maximum of 365 nm. The exact fluorescence maximum can vary slightly depending on the solvent used.
