Metrohm Opens Northeast Hub in New Jersey

Metrohm recently opened a new office in Plainsboro, New Jersey. The official inauguration and ribbon-cutting ceremony took place on November 19, 2021. The 45,000 square foot facility will house development, production, and manufacturing space for Metrohm Group companies Innovative Photonic Solutions (IPS) and B&W Tek, in addition to the Northeast field office for Metrohm USA.

IPS is the world’s largest producer of Raman spectroscopy diode-based light components. B&W Tek is a provider of mobile Raman spectroscopy solutions and modular spectrometers. Both companies were acquired by Metrohm in 2018.

The New Jersey office has laboratory space for live demonstrations of instrumentation and hands-on instrument training for up to 70 customers. The facility has ample meeting space equipped with the newest audiovisual solutions that can accommodate in-person, hybrid, or virtual events with customers.

Monitoring Sugar Consumption and Ethanol Production During Yeast Fermentation Using a Raman Plate Reader and Multivariate Analysis
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.
Highly Substituted Benzene Rings—The Rest of the Story II: Spectra
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.
