Markets Served
ICL supplies a broad range of optics, supplies, and accessories for spectroscopy to end-users, dealers, catalog vendors, and instrument manufacturers worldwide. Customers can access ICL's products on-line, through extensive catalogs, and a network of more than 75 dealers who service customers in most markets throughout the world.
Major Products/Services
ICL products enable spectroscopists to make the most out of modern spectroscopic instruments. Products include IR crystal optics; KBr powder; liquid and gas transmission cells; long path gas cells; cuvettes for UV–vis, NIR, and fluorescence spectroscopy; solid sampling accessories such as mills, mortars and pestles, lab presses and dies for making KBr pellets for IR spectroscopy, and briquets for XRF spectroscopy.
Facility
ICL provides customer support at our state of the art manufacturing plant in Garfield, New Jersey. We maintain several FT-IR and UV–vis spectrophotometers for product quality control. Our plant is serviced by a 150 kWh backup generator which guarantees that we are able to be productive at all times, including 100% on line time during Hurricanes Irene and Sandy.

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.
How do ions and water interact at the atomic level in nanochannels grafted with polymer brushes using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations? Siddhartha Das of the University of Maryland and his team are working on answering this question.
