ARNOLD BECKMAN
Inventor • Chemist • Businessperson • Electrical Engineer
Perhaps one of the most important inventors of all time, Arnold Beckman pioneered the chemical instrumentation revolution. I had the honor of working with Mr. Beckman’s foundation and the scientists, historians, and entrepreneurs the share in his legacy. We produced a feature-length documentary that aired on PBS.
PH Meter
Arnold O. Beckman developed the first commercially successful electronic pH meter. The pH variations can influence flavor, consistency, and shelf life to create the perfect fruit juices and other food products.

Oxidant Recorder
The oxidant recorder was first developed by Arnold Beckman in the late 1940s. The instrumentation revolution transformed the study of air pollution.
Ultracentrifuge
Ultracentrifuge is the machine used to create vaccines. The device's inventor sought advice from the instrumentation expert, Arnold Beckman, to reproduce ultracentrifuge worldwide. For that reason, he was considered the highway of science.
