Analytical Chemistry and PFAS at Pittcon

After a two-year hiatus PITTCON (The Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy) resumed in March 2023, as an in-person conference/expo. This year’s conference was in Philadelphia, PA and drew over 7,500 people (~5,000 attendees & 2,500 exhibitors). PITTCON started in 1950 and grew into one of the largest expos for laboratory products held in the U.S. The conference is now smaller than it once was but it remains an important conference and business to business touch point for our industry.

Relieving the Pipetting Toll for Better Results

The Scientist teamed up with BRANDTECH to highlight the benefits of a Liquid Handling Station to scientists in the lab. Many experiments require repetitive pipetting steps, from setting up a dilution series to assembling hundreds of PCR or sequencing assays. While manual pipetting may seem unavoidable for many researchers, modern liquid handling stations can take care of a range of tasks, from simple liquid transfers to complex assay set up.

Sales Spotlight – Age Tabion

This month, we welcome back Age Tabion as our Vacuum Technical Sales Representative in the central region! Age rejoins BRANDTECH with a renewed appreciation for our company culture and approach to sales, which he greatly missed during his hiatus. "I'm very excited to pick up where I left off a year ago. With BRANDTECH, you just can't beat the people, I get to collaborate on projects with so many members of the team." Age brings several years' experience with the former VACUUBRAND, Inc., which he looks forward to sharing with his regional team to play off of each other's strengths to give customers the best experience. You won't be surprised that Age is still an avid guitar player, now with a regular gig at a local coffee and wine bar. He has also recently taken up tennis which he enjoys practicing with his daughter. We're happy to have you back, Age!

 

Training in Wertheim Germany

Seven BRANDTECH colleagues travelled to the BRAND and VACUUBRAND production facilities in Wertheim, Germany for training. They were greeted with the utmost hospitality and had the opportunity to explore the beautiful city of Wertheim. The trip included tours of BRAND and VACUUBRAND production facilities where they experienced the process of turning raw materials into finished products, and the absolute precision that goes into it. With everything from the newest, cutting-edge technology to vacuum pumps that dated 30+ years, Mat Carignan stated “The entire facility is like a giant museum”. 

The week was full of in-depth product training including time in the in-house lab facilities. The fully functioning labs are complete with fume hoods, rotary evaporators, and more for testing, training, and new product development. Time with the German colleagues gave them the opportunity for a more in depth understanding of the liquid handling and vacuum products we offer. Overall, the group came away from the trip with a deeper product knowledge, a stronger understanding of the production process and an appreciation for a pint of the local pilsner.
