PIKE Technologies Inc

Company Description

PIKE Technologies was established in 1989, specializing in the development and manufacture of accessories and optical systems that enhance the performance of commercial spectrometers. PIKE concentrates on making the life of laboratory personnel easier.

Chief Spectroscopic Techniques Supported

PIKE products are designed and manufactured to work with FT-IR and molecular spectrometers and are based upon the principles of spectroscopic measurement via:

  • Attenuated total reflectance (ATR)

  • Diffuse reflectance

  • Specular reflectance

  • Transmission, including sample cells and IR windows

  • Remote sensing

  • High-throughput automation

  • Integrating spheres

  • Polarization control

  • IR microscopy

  • Microsampling

  • Gas cells

Markets Served

PIKE products are designed for molecular spectrometers in the petrochemical, food, forensic, optical, agricultural, and material science industries. In addition, PIKE Technologies specializes in custom design of products and optical components for specific applications. PIKE products are built with craftsmanship and care to exceed customer expectations. Visit our website and take advantage of our unique and interactive Crystal Properties Chart and FT-IR Calculator.

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.
