Quantos wins R&D100 Award

METTLER TOLEDO has been awarded the coveted "R&D 100 Award" for QUANTOS™, a global innovation which automatically doses small amounts of free-flowing substances directly into the tare container—making weighing with a spatula a thing of the past.

The prestigious R&D 100 Awards have taken place for 47 years, helping companies provide the important initial push a new product needs to compete successfully in the marketplace. Winning an R&D 100 Award provides a mark of excellence known to industry, government, and academia as proof that the product is one of the most innovative ideas of the year.

"With practically every organization required to complete more work in less time–and with fewer available resources, Quantos lets our customers focus on lab functions that yield greater returns by improving an important but low-value activity such as manual powder weighing," explains METTLER TOLEDO Area Business Manager for Lab Solutions, Tom Butta. "We’re proud to have this innovation recognized by receiving a 2009 R&D 100 Award!"
