Wilbur Kaye was hired by Beckman Instruments in 1956 as the Director of Research, Scientific Instruments Division. While there, he modified the Beckman DU Spectrophotometer design, producing the DK Spectrophotometer (expanding the range into near-infrared) and the DKU, which combined both infrared and ultraviolet features. He also developed a glucose analyzer for Beckman, which was handed off to and completed by James C. Sternberg in 1970.

The Science History Institute recognizes there are materials in our collections that may be offensive or harmful, containing racist, sexist, Eurocentric, ableist, or homophobic language or depictions. The history of science is not exempt from beliefs or practices harmful to traditionally marginalized groups. The Institute is engaged in ongoing efforts to responsibly present and address the evidence of oppression and injustice inextricable from the history of science.
