Pittcon Today Excellence Awards

The Pittcon Today Excellence Awards are the premier business awards recognizing ingenuity and innovation at the world’s leading conference and exposition for laboratory science. To qualify for the award, the product had to be launched after January 2024 and must be a true innovation and not just an incremental improvement.

Entries were judged by a blue chip panel of experts from academia and leading industry publications. Judges based their decisions on ingenuity, creativity, implementation and outcomes. The principal criterion is the projected impact the product will have on the industry and the world.

The N-REALYZER has revolutionized total nitrogen and protein analysis through its advanced Dumas combustion technology. The analyzer offers unmatched
precision with a detection limit as low as 0.003 mg N absolute and the capability to process up to 100 solid or liquid samples in approximately 5 hours.

The AutoLaser Marking Machine is groundbreaking in sample identification and management. Designed for high-throughput laboratories in life sciences, diagnostics, and biobanking, this automated system revolutionizes sample processing with precise laser marking directly onto storage tubes.

XSPA-200 ER’s advancements in X-ray diffraction (XRD) technology were designed as a pixel array detector for the benchtop MiniFlex XRD system. It combines high energy resolution with true 2D detection, a feature typically reserved for larger, more expensive systems and delivers high-performance XRD capabilities.

The Pyxis platform has made a revolutionary impact on molecular data interpretation. It redefines metabolomics research by directly annotating raw liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) data using advanced AI techniques. It transforms complex, unstructured molecular data into actionable scientific insights with speed and accuracy.

The MRR Spectroscopy Instruments has revolutionized molecular analysis. The suite includes nanoMRR, isoMRR, and spectraMRR, each tailored for academic teaching and research, pharmaceuticals, chemical manufacturing, and consumer goods.

The Milli-Q SQ 2Series Water Purifi cation Systems are redefining lab water purification. Designed to deliver Type 3 and Type 1 ultrapure water, these systems serve academic teaching labs, testing labs, and industrial facilities, and allows users to dispense ultrapure water directly at the bench without needing a feed water connection.
