Company Description
Harrick Scientific Products specializes in designing and manufacturing instruments for optical spectroscopy. Since being established in 1969, Harrick Scientific has advanced the frontiers of optical spectroscopy through its innovations in all spectroscopic techniques. The founder of the company, Dr. N.J. Harrick, pioneered ATR (attenuated total reflection) spectroscopy and became the principal developer of this technique. Harrick Scientific offers a complete selection of sampling accessories, including both standard and custom designs, as well as an extensive line of optical elements.
Chief Spectroscopic Techniques Supported
- Transmission
- Specular reflection
- Diffuse reflection
- ATR

This column shows that a Raman plate reader paired with partial least squares regression can simultaneously quantify glucose, fructose, sucrose, and ethanol in yeast fermentation samples, using turbidity-matched calibration standards to correct for yeast-induced turbidity, and offers a rapid, label-free, high-throughput method for tracking sugar consumption and ethanol production in strain screening, media optimization, and process development.
This column, the second installment on highly substituted benzene rings, shows that tri- and tetra-substituted substitution patterns can be distinguished by whether the ring bending peak is present and by the position of the in-phase aryl C-H wagging peak, which shifts according to how many adjacent hydrogens the ring carries.
