July 08, 2011As you can see, the Sterlitech blog that we started last year has now been moved over to be a part of our main site. If this is your first visit, our blog is where you can find information on new and unique applications, answers to your inquiries, miscellaneous product info, company announcements, and the occasional piece of odd news from the vast universe of science. For returning visitors, we've brought over the archives from the old blog. If something you're looking for has been lost or broken in the transition, please let us know so we can fix it right away. You can use the blog search tool on the left to reference the previous posts, or select a category to browse a particular topic. The blog search tool is for the blog only, so to search content on our main site you'll want to continue to use the search bar on the top of the page. We welcome (non-offensive, please) comments so feel free to leave them on any of our posts to tell us all what you think. And now that we got that out

May 16, 2011If you haven’t taken a look at the semifinalists for the Google Science Fair you still have a few days left to view the submissions and cast your votes! At stake is a $50,000 scholarship from Google, along with an opportunity to apprentice with Google or one of their partner organizations. There are 60 very interesting entries spread across three categories and covering just about every discipline of science. Suffice to say that the projects went beyond the paper-mache volcano. Some examples include:
- A portable solar autoclave for easy sterilization of medical tools in the third world.
- A proposal to utilize gold nanoparticles for the treatment of prostate cancer.
- Building a conductometric biosensor from scratch to detect food-borne illnesses such as Salmonella, using readily available materials.
- A new type of farm implement designed to harvest and thresh crops that requires little to no fuel and can be built from easily available resources and materials.

April 27, 2011It looks like Mailchimp, our email newsletter service, grabbed itself by the tail earlier today and accidentally resent an old newsletter to our subscriber list. Our apologies if you received this blast from the past and were understandably perplexed by it. We're working with them now to make sure it doesn't happen again. Rest assured that the last thing we want to do is overload your already bursting inboxes!

April 15, 2011We made a new resource to show you which of our filters and equipment can be used for various Standard Methods and procedures from the likes of the EPA, NIOSH, ASTM and more. These procedures cover applications ranging from detecting pseudomonas in water to aviation fuel testing.
This guide lists the item category as well as precisely which filters to use for each application. We also included the links to particular method whenever possible – to make your research a little easier and because we like you.
Do you have an application that hasn’t been covered yet? Is there a standard we missed? Tell us about it and we’ll make sure to credit you for your righteous knowledge! -

This week we added another new item to our catalog - Quartz Fiber Filters. These filters are especially useful for high temperature filtration applications since they can withstand temperatures over 500°C. Other nice things about these filters include their indefinite storage life and their high chemical resistance. Right now we have grades QR100 and QR200 available in diameters ranging from 21mm to 150mm.

March 01, 2011Two weeks ago I had the opportunity to mix business with pleasure during an ACS sponsored event at a local chocolate maker. Based out of Seattle, WA, Theo Chocolates, appropriately named after the chocolate bean bearing tree Theobroma cacao, is the only bean-to-bar, organic, fair trade chocolate factory in the USA. After a delicious round of tastings and an insightful tour of the production line, COO Andy McShea gave an interesting lecture on all things chocolate. Did you know that the antioxidant poly-phenols found in dark chocolate are known to lower blood pressure, reduce oral bacteria, and improve cognition? Still need convincing it’s ok to take one more piece?
At this point, you're probably wondering, but what does chocolate have to do with filtration? And you're right, not nearly as much as you’d find in the beverage industry. But Theo, in an effort to maintain its organic product status, uses only essential oils as opposed to extracts to create the sensational, true to flavor tastes
