Enhanced Presence of the Chemical Heritage Foundation (CHF) at Pittcon 2013
For the past 13 years, The Chemical Heritage Foundation (CHF) has partnered with Pittcon to produce a historical depiction of chemistry through its renowned Pittcon Hall of Fame to which all Pittcon attendees have access.
This year, as a salute to the 100th year anniversary of mass spectroscopy, the CHF had an enhanced presence at Pittcon 2013. Located in the main registration area, was an instrumentation museum featuring the J. J. Thomson Monograph that initiated the birth of mass spectrometry, and an interactive display that traces the evolution of MS from early vacuum tube instrumentation to modern miniaturised systems used in modern applications.
In addition, the CHF presented a symposium, Instrumentation Innovation: A Personal History of Instruments and Innovation, which included presentations by David Brock (Instruments, Automation, Bits, and Palm Trees: Instrumentation Firms and the Early Computer Industry) and Rosie Cook (More Than Black Boxes – Using Instruments To Tell The Personal Side Of Chemistry).
Pittcon Editors’ Awards Senova Systems Takes Gold at Pittcon Editors’ Awards
Senova Systems’ pHit Scanner was voted the top new product at Pittcon 2013 by the editors covering the show in Philadelphia.
The pHit Scanner, said to be the world’s first calibration-free pH meter and Senova Systems’ first product offering is now commercially available. The pHit Scanner’s technology platform incorporates an advanced sensor and electronics, eliminating glass electrodes completely.

Bronze Award Shared
S
Pie Photonics based in Ireland and Hilton Head Island, SC received the joint-Bronze Editors Award for its Pie-in-a-Box™, a portable, no-moving parts no scanning elements, interferometer technology that measures spectral content via Fourier Transform.
Pie™ Technology uses a passive optical engine to produce a spatial interference pattern across a detector array. The detector array is used to capture the interferogram for signal processing and
analysis. A range of Fourier processing, fringe counting and weighting algoritms are used to analyse the interference fringes to measure delay, phase and spectral information to make measurements.
APIX based in both France and the US was the joint-Bronze Editors Award Medal Award for its breakthrough multigas analysis platform using nano silicon technology.
We have been exhibiting at Pittcon for decades...every year, the experience gets better and
better...not just the quantity, but in quality of interactions.
Ken Grant, Director of Sales and Marketing for Analtech
APIX (Analytical Pixels Technology SAS), a VC backed startup incorporated in December 2011, is the commercial emanation of 8 years of collaborative research between CEA (French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission), California Institute of Technology (Caltech), the US Department of Energy, and Sandia National Laboratories.
BRONZE AWARD
Pittcon 2014 will be held March 2-6, McCormick Place, Chicago.
