FireflySci, a leader in the field of spectroscopy and photometry, has unveiled its latest innovation in the form of advanced straylight calibration standards. These new standards address a critical issue that affects the accuracy and reliability of spectrophotometric measurements across various scientific fields.

NORTHPORT N.Y., May 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — FireflySci is a leading provider of spectroscopy and photometry solutions, offering a wide range of products designed to meet the diverse needs of scientific laboratories. With a commitment to quality and innovation, FireflySci delivers advanced calibration standards, cuvettes, and accessories that enhance the accuracy and reliability of spectrophotometric measurements. The company’s products are trusted by researchers and scientists worldwide, making FireflySci a go-to resource for high-performance UV VIS spectrophotometer calibration tools.

Additionally, solid-state filters eliminate the hazards associated with handling and disposing of liquid chemicals, providing a safer alternative for laboratory personnel

Straylight, defined as light emitted from other bandwidths, poses a significant challenge in obtaining precise spectrophotometric readings. This phenomenon can be caused by factors such as diffraction, light scattering, or even malfunctions within the spectrophotometric equipment. Although all spectrophotometers exhibit some degree of straylight, its impact is more pronounced in the UV range, where even minor inaccuracies can lead to substantial errors in data interpretation.

Recognizing the necessity of mitigating straylight, FireflySci has developed cutting-edge solid-state calibration standards designed to enhance the accuracy and reliability of spectrophotometric measurements. The company’s new solutions include a range of solid-state calibration filters that quickly replace old-fashioned liquid calibration standards, offering distinct advantages for testing and correcting straylight.

Straylight calibration standards, commonly known as cut-off filters, feature sharp transmission drop-offs that provide precise results. These filters are essential for ensuring the accuracy of spectrophotometric data, especially when dealing with samples that require exact measurements. For users seeking additional benefits such as repeatability and safety, FireflySci’s solid-state calibration filters represent an ideal choice. These filters ensure consistent performance and minimize the risks associated with handling liquid chemicals.

A standout product in FireflySci’s new lineup is the FUV Dual Series filter. This versatile calibration standard is capable of addressing both photometric accuracy and straylight issues across a broad wavelength range, from 200 nm to 700 nm, covering both UV and visible spectrums. By employing the FUV Dual Series filter, researchers and scientists can achieve high-precision calibrations, thereby ensuring the integrity of their experimental results.

There are many benefits to choosing a solid calibration standard over a liquid one. Solid-state filters are highly durable and resistant to environmental factors that might affect liquid standards. They do not suffer from evaporation, spillage, or degradation over time, making them a reliable long-term solution for laboratories that require consistent calibration results. “Additionally, solid-state filters eliminate the hazards associated with handling and disposing of liquid chemicals, providing a safer alternative for laboratory personnel,” says Sim Woitovich CEO of FIreflySci.

The design of these solid-state filters ensures repeatable and stable calibration results. Unlike liquid filters that may exhibit variability due to temperature fluctuations or chemical composition changes, solid-state filters deliver uniform performance under various conditions. This consistency is crucial for maintaining the integrity of spectrophotometric measurements and ensuring the reproducibility of scientific experiments.

The importance of addressing straylight cannot be overstated. Unchecked straylight can progressively distort spectrophotometric readings, leading to erroneous data interpretations and potentially compromising entire research projects. By incorporating FireflySci’s advanced calibration standards, laboratories can maintain the highest levels of accuracy in their measurements, thereby supporting the validity and reproducibility of scientific research.

These new products exemplify FireflySci’s commitment to innovation and excellence in spectroscopy. The company’s dedication to resolving complex challenges faced by researchers ensures that it remains at the forefront of technological advancements in the field. By continuously refining its calibration standards, FireflySci empowers scientists to achieve greater precision and reliability in their work.

The release of these state-of-the-art straylight calibration standards underscores FireflySci’s position as a trusted partner for laboratories around the world. With a focus on quality, safety, and performance, FireflySci remains dedicated to providing solutions that enhance the accuracy of spectrophotometric measurements and support the advancement of scientific knowledge.

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
