Pittcon 2020 Wrap-Up: Popular Products and Special Promo

March 11, 2020

After much consideration regarding the Covid-19 outbreak, Pittcon 2020 continued according to schedule with many hand sanitizer stations located throughout McCormick place. While attendance dipped a bit compared to previous years, a total of 9,000 attendees from 90 countries were still able to make it to the convention.

Our Sterlitech Pittcon crew included, from left to right, Greg Rousselot, Sales Director; Jim Boswell, Marketing Manager; Mark Spatz, President and Founder; Tauni Wright, Sales Manager; Kensen Hirohata, Sales Engineer; and Steve Dulin, Application Engineer. We enjoyed interacting with customers and vendors in person and seeing some familiar faces at the ILDA Reception and LPA Speaker Breakfast. We are already looking forward to joining our colleagues at Pittcon 2021 in New Orleans for another exciting expo!

With a sampling of our vacuum filtration equipment on display, the crowd favorite continues to be the Lafil 300C Filtration System, which packs a full vacuum filtration apparatus in a small footprint to free up bench space. It features a chemically resistant vacuum diaphragm pump and an adaptor that turns any bottle with GL45 threads into a vacuum flask. If you’re in the market for new vacuum filtration equipment, you can now save 10% on the Lafil 300C and Rocker 300c products on www.sterlitech.com until 3/31/20.

Another popular product that saves bench space is the Watervac Vacuum Filtration System, which features built-in filter holders and a liquid pump that can transfer filtered liquid directly to waste to maximize time when you’re in the lab. We were pleased to hear that many of the attendees we spoke to were familiar with the Magnetic Series Filter Funnels; Ideal for microbial sample testing, this system enables convenient one-handed assembly via two-layer magnetic design between the funnel and the base.
