With extensive emphasis placed on intellectual property and new, patentable developments, the DAWN and miniDAWN systems have been sold in increasing numbers for more than a decade. Instruments have been placed in literally thousands of laboratories throughout the world, making them the most widely-recognized light scattering products on earth. The DAWN systems provide unique and powerful tools for many different areas of analytical chemistry, including quality control, process control, molecular weight and size determinations, and a host of other applications which are all possible with these multi-angle light scattering instruments. The DAWN detectors are used by the world's most prestigious universities and some of the largest corporations in the world including DuPont, Dow, IBM, Glaxo, Unilever, Shell Oil, Bayer and Merck. The company's applications have also involved sales to companies at the forefront of the biotechnology arena including Amgen, Genentech, Chiron, Genzyme, Biogen and Genetics Institute.
Overseas sales provide an important component of the company's growth.
Wyatt Technology actively sells its products throughout Europe, South America and Asia, thereby ensuring the greatest possible visibility and strongest sales potential for these systems. In 1993 Wyatt Technology formed Wyatt Technology Deutschland , a partially-owned subsidiary, to exploit the enormous sales in Germany and prepare for future sales into Eastern Europe. A Scientific Advisory Board comprised of two members of the National Academy of Science and several of the world's leading scholars in polymer chemistry, underscores the company's commitment to scientific excellence, as well as to world-wide acceptance of its products. Located entirely in Santa Barbara, California, WTC maintains more than 15,000 square feet of modern electronics, optical prototype, machine shop, and laboratory facilities. Wyatt Technology is privately held.
