Pittcon Editors' Awards 2000
In late April 2000, the www.pittcon.org website announced the Pittcon
Editors' Awards following an extensive review of several new product introductions by
manufacturers in the analytical instrumentation arena. In the press release, three
prominent vendors were singled out and rewarded for their cutting edge technologies and
innovations. Following the review of over 20 different product nominations by a committee
of 16 distinguished editors, this is how the chips fell this year:
Pittcon Editors' Gold Award
Agilent Technologies' 2100
Bioanalyzer system
Pittcon Editors' Silver Award
P/ACETM MDQ CE - Finnigan LCQTM
Duo
Pittcon Editors' Bronze Award
Textron Systems' NIR Grain
analyzer
Other notable mentions with significant vote totals included: Varian's Rapid GC-MS
and Bruker's LC-NMR-MS.
Take the advice of the Pittcon Editors who put considerable time and effort into producing
this list of vendors that have distinguished themselves far and above the competition.
You'll have to forgive us for not noting who wasn't worthy of inclusion on this select
list for the fifth year running.... they didn't even muster a notable mention!
