The PITTCON Editors' Choice Awards are intended to recognize the best examples of innovative and creative instruments showcased at the exposition and are selected by an independent voting survey of registered press members attending the conference and trade-show. PITTCON is a flagship annual event in the analytical equipment industry, typically attracting over 25,000 attendees and over 1,000 companies, many of whom time their new product releases for this exhibition.
TERRA is the world’s first combined X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction instrument designed for field applications. Completely contained, TERRA allows for remote operation in environment where the advantages of X-Ray diffraction were not formally possible.
Patented technology makes possible the collection of high quality XRD data regardless of the grain size of a sample, providing identification and analysis solutions in applications such as: soils, mining, explosives, forensics, pharmaceuticals, art and archaeological materials.
