November 12, 2007. Boston, MA. Scientific Gear today announced that they will be a sponsor of the 5th Annual Surface Cleaning Workshop to be held November 13- 14 at Northeastern University in Boston. The conference was organized jointly by Northeastern and Hanyang University in South Korea. It will gather researchers, academicians and corporate leaders to discuss the latest breakthroughs in the field of nanotechnology and its applications for the aerospace, automotive, semiconductor and healthcare industries. Scientific Gear, the US distributor of SEO (Surface Electro Optics) products, supplies cutting edge scientific products to some of the most recognizable names in global business including Pfizer, Howard University and AMS. SEO is one of the worldwide leaders in the research and development of analysis technology, a category of scientific tools that measure surface adherence. Their research has led to the development of products that help pharmaceutical components adhere to each other, ensure space equipment surfaces stand up to extreme conditions, and apply secure watermarks to currency, as well as numerous other applications from a broad number of industries. “We are proud to be a part of this conference that is bringing attention to this little understood, and yet critical niche industry,” said Scientific Gear president Hank Levi. “Our customers rely on our products for critical, and in fact, lifesaving work.
