One embodiment relates to a method for preparing a polyamide-imide film which is colorless and transparent and has good mechanical properties, easily and efficiently in terms of yield. Particularly, the embodiment relates to a preparation method capable of obtaining a polyamide-imide film of which the optical characteristics, mechanical properties and flexibility are harmoniously improved without complicated processes, by controlling the amount of imide repeating units and amide repeating units constituting the polyamide-imide film.

Polymeric BODIPY dyes including light harvesting BODIPY unit-comprising multichromophores are provided. In some embodiments, the dyes are polymeric tandem dyes that include a light harvesting BODIPY unit-comprising multichromophore and an acceptor chromophore covalently linked to the multichromophore in energy-receiving proximity therewith. The polymeric tandem dyes may be covalently linked to a specific binding member. Also provided are methods of evaluating a sample for the presence of a target analyte and methods of labelling a target molecule using compositions including the polymeric tandem dyes. Kits and systems for practicing the subject methods are also provided.
