Pittcom Editors Choice Silver Award

Jun 15 2011

The Samplicity Filtration System from Merck Millipore - an innovative new technology that provides a convenient, high throughput alternative to syringe-tip filters when preparing samples for chromatography - received the Editor’s Silver Award for best new product. The Samplicity system allows up to 8 samples, even those with high viscosity or particulates, to be simultaneously vacuum-filtered in seconds. Samples are quickly and easily loaded using a pipettor and are filtered directly into LC vials. The filtered samples are immediately ready for subsequent analyses.


“The enthusiasm shown by the media and by scientists at Pittcon validates the need for a fast, ergonomic system to relieve the tedium of filtration sample preparation,” said Rebecca Duguid, Product Marketing Manager for Analytical Sample Preparation at Merck Millipore. “Until now, researchers had limited options for speeding up sample prep,” said John Sweeney, Head of EMD Millipore’s Life Science business field. “Syringe-tip filtration is a serial process that can slow down an entire workflow. At the other end of the spectrum are robotic systems, which are expensive and offer too much capacity for labs that handle a few dozen samples per day. The Samplicity system provides relief from the repetition of manual filtration and offers a throughput capacity well-aligned with the needs of most labs.”
