Do you just want to detect IR, or communicate via IR? The IR sensor we carry is designed for 38KHz communication. This is the industry standard frequency for IR remote controls. It is compatible with the IR LEDs we sell, but you need to modulate the LED signal at 38KHz as described in this guide: http://learn.adafruit.com/ir-sensor

We don't carry any phototransistors. The only IR sensors we have are the 38KHz version I linked before and this digital sensor: http://www.adafruit.com/products/1777
