The closest most people get to using a membrane filter happens when they slide a paper filter into a coffee machine each day for their morning brew. That realization gave us a great idea for a practical gift that we know many of you could use: a handsome coffee mug monogrammed with Sterlitech’s logo. With any order from the Sterlitech website or the Glass Fiber Store, you can enter the coupon code “MUG ME” to claim a free coffee mug. However, we only have 300 of these mugs to give away, so act quickly.

Sterlitech receives another bit of local recognition this year, this time receiving the Best in Kent Award for Laboratory Furniture Manufacturing. This award was bestowed upon us by the Kent Award Program, which works to recognize small businesses in Kent which have exceptional success at generating competitive advantages and long-term value. As always, this latest feather in our cap would not have been possible without the support of all our customers. You had as much of a hand in presenting us with this reward as the Kent Award Program Commitee.

At Sterlitech Corporation, we take great pride in producing the best laboratory filtration products on the market. It’s of one of our specialties, after all. But even we have to admit that filters aren’t always the most electrifying products to talk about. Until someone decides they should be. A team of chemists led by Anthony Kucernak, from the Imperial College London, decided to do exactly that in a study to determine if they could use Sterlitech’s silver membranes as electrodes and improve the performance of alkaline anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AAEMFC). AAEMFCs are a new twist on one the oldest and well-developed fuel cell technologies: the alkaline fuel cell. Owing to their nearly 70% power efficiency, NASA chose alkaline fuel cells to provide electricity with the Apollo missions and the Space Shuttle. AAEMFCs usually have electrodes made from carbon, but the performance of carbon electrodes in the cell tends to degrade because of unwanted secondary reactions. According to the

October 17, 2012Sterlitech got a bit of local recognition last week when the Puget Sound Business Journal named it one of the 100 fastest-growing private companies in the Puget Sound area. This is the second year in a row that Sterlitech has made the PSBJ list of fastest-growing companies, and is an incredible honor to receive along with last month’s Inc. 5000 recognition. But while we love having an excuse to pat ourselves on the back, a great deal of credit goes out to our customers. Without you, we could only dream of these past two years of incredible growth. Thank you all for your support! The Puget Sound Business Journal's full list of fastest-growing companies can be found here.

October 16, 2012Today, we have a video that shows, in dramatic fashion, just how simple and efficient Sterlitech's Autofil Laboratory Filtration System is to use in comparison to traditional filter funnel assemblies. In this video, we have Jason on the Autofil System and Kristina on the traditonal filter funnel racing to filter 1000 mL of red water. Jason has to fill four 250 mL Autofil funnel assemblies, while Kristina has to fill two 500 mL filter funnel assemblies. Lets see how this plays out:

---->As you sit in front of your computer reading this, a myriad of thoughts are probably running through your mind. "Where is this story going?" "What am I going to have for lunch today?" "This blog is awesome!" But what you probably aren't thinking about is how you are actually able to read this. How often have you spared a thought about how the light from the screen is passing through the cornea and lens of your eye to trigger the light-sensitive photo-receptors in your retina and send the visual information to your brain? While you consider that, also consider sending a message of congratulations to Robert J. Lefkowitz and Brian K. Kobilka for winning the Nobel Prize in Chemistry today. Their work over the past few decades has revealed the inner workings of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), a family of cell receptors which includes the photo-receptors in your eyes, and receptors for adrenaline, taste and smell. GPCRs are a crucial signal pathway for cells, allowing them to detect
