SALT LAKE CITY and ORLANDO, Fla. — March 1, 2018 — The newly announced Axcend Focus LC™ liquid chromatograph from Axcend™ has won a Bronze Pittcon Excellence Award from Pittcon Today magazine (in the under $10 million category).
Pittcon Today is the official magazine of the Pittcon conference and exposition, the premier annual event for laboratory science. The Pittcon Excellence Award presented to Axcend was one of nine total Pittcon Excellence Awards presented by Pittcon Today during Pittcon 2018.
Award winners and finalists were selected from over 700 companies that exhibited at Pittcon 2018. Thought leaders from academia, industry and trade media served as a panel of judges that evaluated and selected this year’s winners based on submissions’ ingenuity, creativity, implementation and outcomes, as well as the projected impact of the individual products on the industry and wider public.
“It’s always humbling to have your efforts recognized by your peers as being above the norm or particularly noteworthy,” said Dr. Milton L. Lee, Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer of Axcend and principal inventor of the Axcend Focus LC. “That’s why it’s especially gratifying to receive this Bronze Pittcon Excellence Award in the sub-$10 million category at Pittcon 2018. So on behalf of the entire Axcend team, I say ‘Thank You’ for this honor.”
