The Beckman DK Spectrophotometer was an enhancement of the DU, which expanded the instrument’s range of into near-infrared. This was accomplished by chemist Wilbur I. Kaye, who began his work on science behind the DK at…

The Beckman Instruments IR spectrophotometers began as a request from the Office of Rubber Reserve to Arnold O. Beckman in 1942, asking for an infrared spectrophotometer that they could use to create rubber. Under this…

The color photographs depict an instrument owned by Jack Kertzman of Perma Pure Products. Kertzman apparently purchased the Model P oxygen meter from an Exxon surplus sale, used it for many years in his laboratory, and…

The first Beckman Instruments DU Spectrophotometer was developed in 1940, when the company was still called National Technical Laboratories. Spurred by employee Howard Cary (who had previously been involved in pH meter…

Electrophoresis uses an electric field to separate particles in a medium (like a gel) based on their size, charge, or a binding affinity.

The image of all 3 components was photographed by Russell Illig per a…
