PBI also announced that it introduced its patent-pending "PCT Shredder" during the HPBB Conference, the third new PCT-dependent product that the Company has released over the past four months. The PCT Shredder was designed to help research scientists safely, rapidly, and conveniently disrupt very tough samples -- such as ticks, muscle, and seeds -- that require homogenization prior to PCT or other sample preparation methods.
Mr. Richard T. Schumacher, Founder, President, and CEO of PBI commented: "Extremely tough samples often require a pre-processing step as part of the sample preparation process. The PCT Shredder was designed to rapidly and safely process a wide range of such samples. It uses the same PULSE Tube as the PCT Sample Preparation System (PCT SPS). This allows scientists to homogenize tough samples in the PCT Shredder followed directly by extraction with the PCT SPS, but without the need to transfer the sample into a second processing container between steps. This is unique to the sample preparation market. We believe this reduction in sample handling should result in a decrease in cost for the user and a potential reduction in sample loss and laboratory errors. We further believe that the advantages of the PCT Shredder will help us significantly in our goal to achieve greater market acceptance and penetration, and leadership in the worldwide sample preparation field."
