METTLER TOLEDO Handheld Powder Receives Red Dot Award For Product Design

A new, hand-held dispensing device from METTLER TOLEDO has received a Red Dot award in recognition of high design quality, expressing innovation in form and function in an exemplary manner.

(PRWEB) - Awarded annually by Germany’s Design Zentrum Nordrhein-Westfalen, the Red Dot Award is an internationally recognized quality label for excellent design. METTLER TOLEDO is extremely pleased to have received a coveted Red Dot award in recognition of high design quality for their Quantos Handheld Powder Dispenser (HPD).

The Quantos Handheld Powder Dispenser (HPD) brings convenience, increased lab safety and ease-of-use to applications involving free-flowing powders. Forget the delicacy and potential slip-ups of weighing-in with a spatula; now all it takes is one press with your thumb. The benefits are especially apparent with low weights, hygroscopic and statically charged powders that are difficult to handle.

The Handheld Powder Dispenser (HPD) is a new milestone in powder dosing solutions, ergonomically designed for one-handed operation in laboratory safety cabinets and glove boxes. Sample containers easily connect to the dosing head, greatly reducing the risk of spillages. And by using a separate dosing head for each substance, there is no risk of cross contamination and hazardous materials always remain enclosed, providing a higher level of safety for operators.

All this duly impressed the Red Dot jury comprised of renowned specialists from all over the world, who are key to upholding the high level of competition. As they wrote in their statement, “Its simple design and control elements support the safe and intuitive use of this powder dispenser.”

By reducing spillage and sample loss, the Quantos HPD brings money and time savings as well. Its one-press dispensing action is also drastically more productive than traditional spatula methods. With the Quantos HPD from METTLER TOLEDO, operators are working faster with fewer spills, less clean-up and lower exposure to chemical risks than ever before.
