Proven Quality

Expert Product Support | Science-First Product Design | Proven Quality | Clear Upfront Pricing

High performance backed by proven quality is one important way that we build trust with our customers across the scientific community. Dedicated to effective research and development, our procurement, manufacturing, and synthesis processes guarantee the equipment and materials that reach you in your labs are appropriately tested and certified so you can focus on your project and have confidence in your results.

Trust Our Materials

Used to create high performing devices, materials from Ossila are featured in a number of high-impact publications and are trusted by institutions around the world. Across our full range we only supply quality formulations, including sublimed-grade materials with purity >99%, so you can achieve high performance in all your experiments and applications. On request, we provide a certificate of analysis so you can be assured the materials you receive are the ones you bought, as well as being able to provide details of their composition and purity within your publications.

The Luminosyn™ Range

Synthesized in-house, the Luminosyn™ range began in 2015 with the scale-up synthesis of two popular photovoltaic materials, PCDTBT and DPP-DTT. Since then, the range has extended to include more polymer semiconductors for higher-performance OPV materials.

For consistency and reliability between experiments, the Luminosyn™ range provides high-purity, batch-specific materials. Each batch undergoes several days of Soxhlet extraction. Under inert atmospheric conditions, the materials are washed repeatedly and undergo multiple precipitations to reduce oligomers, metal residues, and low molecular weight fractions. And to evaluate their quality, we run comprehensive analyses on every batch via UV-vis and GPC techniques.

Using scale-up synthesis, the availability of larger batches eliminates the inconsistency and inconvenience of obtaining different batches your materials from different suppliers. At the same time, this lowers the cost of synthesis, allowing us to offer you highly competitive prices. Plus, precise molecular weights with batch-specific data make it easy to better optimize and understand your experiments, providing a more reliable reference for those that follow your published procedures.

High Performance Equipment

Our equipment and lab supplies are developed with a focus on reliability, usability, and consistently high standards. Each product is tested or validated for quality and performance, from large systems like our probe station or slot die coater to electrochemical cells and substrates.

Where international standards exist, such as for our solar simulators, we design, test, and calibrate our equipment in line with these traceable standards, supplying the relevant calibration certificates or test data with each order. Feature functionality is also validated through failure and endurance testing. For example, to ensure reliable temperature sensing in our UV ozone cleaner, each unit undergoes three one-hour operation cycles. After each cycle, the temperatures of the tray, UV lamps, and electronics are measured to confirm correct lamp operation and effective heating of the tray area. Details of these quality tests are provided on quality assurance forms supplied with relevant products.

With clear performance requirements and strong relationships with trusted suppliers, we ensure that every item aligns with the same quality expectations we would expect in our own research.
