Company Description
StellarNet provides low cost miniature spectrometer systems and spectroscopy software for product analysis, research, education, and OEM. StellarNet instrumentation is rugged for any environment-lab, process, or field. Most items are in stock with immediate delivery and customer service and support is a top priority.
In 1991, StellarNet developed a mini fiber optic spectrometer that connected to a computer's printer interface, a revolutionary advancement of the time in size, speed, and functionality. Over the years StellarNet has continued the trend of ingenuity and has become a global leader in optical sensing and miniature spectrometer systems with unmatched price performance.

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.
