SACHEM's 20-Minute eLearning Course Wins Bronze in the 2008 Summit International Awards Competition

The Summit Awards Competition recognizes excellence in Interactive Media Training.

(Austin, TX)- July 14, 2008 – SACHEM Inc, a premier provider of high purity chemical solutions, is a Bronze Winner in the 2008 Summit International Awards for Interactive Media-Training and a Gold Winner in the 2008 Hermes Creative Marketing Competition.

The displacement chromatography course includes a series of simulations designed to foster a deeper customer understanding of how SACHEM’s ultra pure displacers are used in the displacement chromatography process. Compelling visualizations convey procedures to viewers. The interactive learning approach conveys the detailed process and resulting benefits of SACHEM Isolis™, Propell™ and Expell™ Displacers. SACHEM used actual data to create animated representations of real-world displacement chromatography.

Because many scientists are accustomed to alternate chromatography processes, it is very important to accurately convey the unique displacement process, which has many advantages. The experiential elearning approach vividly conveys the benefits and demonstrates proper usage of the product

“We wanted to develop an on-line course that offers scientists worldwide the ability to easily access information, learn about and explore our technology at their convenience. The 20 minute eLearning Course  guides users through the simple displacement procedure, allowing them to understand a series of operating parameters. By illustrating critical choices in setting up a successful displacement chromatography experiment, users gain a basic understanding of the technology, and then can apply and optimize displacement chromatography more efficiently in the lab or plant,” stated Rosemary Hoffman, Director of SACHEM’s Biotechnology Solutions Group.
