SilcoTek had an incredible time at Analytica USA 2025, held September 10–12 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio. Thank you to everyone who stopped by Exhibit Hall B, Booth 854 to learn more about how our coatings are helping laboratories, researchers, and industry leaders achieve more accurate results and more reliable performance.
Highlights From the Show
-
Engaging Conversations – We enjoyed meeting scientists, engineers, and industry professionals from across North America and around the globe. The discussions around contamination control, corrosion resistance, and PFAS-free solutions showed just how critical these challenges are for today’s labs.
-
Showcasing Our Coatings – Visitors got hands-on with coated components and saw the benefits of our most popular technologies, including Dursan®, SilcoNert®, and Notak®. Many attendees were excited to see how our coatings improve sample integrity, extend equipment life, and reduce costly downtime.
-
Industry Insights – Analytica USA reinforced the importance of advanced surface technologies in driving game-changing coatings across so many industrial applications. The growing focus on sustainability and accurate analytical results aligns perfectly with SilcoTek’s vision to make the world a better place through our coatings.

How SilcoTek Coatings Support the Analytical & Life Sciences Market
At Analytica USA, many conversations centered around the need for better, more reliable, and more reproducible results. This is exactly where SilcoTek’s coatings make an impact. Our inert coatings, such as SilcoNert, prevent stainless steel surfaces from interacting with sensitive compounds, which helps laboratories avoid contamination, false positives, and analyte loss during trace analysis. In environments where corrosive gases, solvents, or aggressive cleaning agents are common, Dursan adds robust corrosion resistance that extends the life of components and reduces costly downtime. For applications prone to sample carryover or biofouling, hydrophobic coatings like Notak minimize surface adhesion and improve cleanliness, leading to more consistent results. Importantly, SilcoTek also supports laboratories seeking PFAS-free and sustainable solutions by offering fluorine-free alternatives that meet stringent performance requirements without introducing regulatory concerns. Together, these benefits help researchers and engineers achieve the highest quality data while ensuring their instruments perform at their best.
In addition to improving overall data integrity, SilcoTek coatings are also driving innovation in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and other applications that demand completely metal-free, inert flow paths. By eliminating the risk of analyte interaction with stainless steel surfaces, our coatings help ensure the most accurate separations and quantification, particularly for highly sensitive compounds. This advantage is especially critical for laboratories focused on PFAS analysis, where even trace contamination can compromise results. With proven solutions, we continue to demonstrate how SilcoTek coatings enable accurate, more reliable pathways for today’s most challenging analytical work.
