Evolution of Wyatt Technology Corp. An Interview with Philip Wyatt

摘要

Over the last 56 years, Wyatt Technology Corp. (WTC), including the adaptation of innovations from its progenitor, Science Spectrum, has earned a reputation for developing and marketing instruments for the physical characterization of particles, including size, mass, charge (zeta potential), conformation, and particle interactions such as proteins and nucleic acids. Along the way, Wyatt has made strategic acquisitions, notably for differential refractometers and dynamic light scattering. These acquisitions facilitated Wyatt's ability to offer complete solutions, rather than just a few esoteric instruments. Its instruments are found in the labs of several Nobel Laureates, many of the foremost research foundations and corporations of the world, and in the production and research facilities of the leading pharmaceutical firms. Unique to Wyatt are its customer-training courses at the Light Scattering University (the other LSU), which provide new customers with the training essential for the maximum utilization of their products. The Master of Light Scattering diploma, originally proposed and designed by the great physical chemist, Bruno Zimm (in Latin!), is awarded to each such successful student.
