About Us

Our Approach

We’re dedicated to advancing infrared spectroelectrochemical technology. Jackfish SEC is designing and manufacturing high-quality scientific tools to benefit the academic and industrial communities.

Our Story

Jackfish SEC was founded in 2018 in Saskatoon, Canada, to serve the international scientific community. We spent years designing and testing our product to meet our demanding experimental needs of excellent electrochemistry and spectroscopic response over several days. Now, we’re moving from lab to commercial scale to help other scientists get the results they need.

A lot of the fundamental research that enabled the development of our spectroelectrochemical cell occurred at the University of Saskatchewan. The College of Arts and Science published an article and video highlighting the development of our product and the founding of our company:
