Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (NYSE: TMO), the world leader in serving
science, today announced that five of its analytical instruments were
included on the R&D Magazine list of the year’s top 100
technology innovations. The R&D 100, known as the “Oscars of
Innovation,” span industry, academia, and government-sponsored research.
“We take pride in providing our customers with advanced technologies to
solve their most difficult challenges,” said Marc N. Casper, president
and chief executive officer of Thermo Fisher Scientific. “This
recognition of our commitment to innovation highlights the success of
those efforts across our analytical technologies portfolio.”
The Thermo Fisher winners are:
-
Thermo
Scientific TruNarc analyzer, a handheld device that allows
narcotics officers, customs agents and other law enforcement
professionals to analyze narcotics and drugs of abuse at the scene,
without the need to open packages or touch the substance in question.
-
Thermo
Scientific Nicolet iS50 spectrometer, the first research-grade
Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy workstation with
one-touch automation. The iS50 enables users of various skill levels
to obtain results at the push of a button in applications ranging from
drug and polymer development to forensic analysis and art conservation.
-
Thermo
Scientific iCAP Q, an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry
(ICP-MS) system designed to be a rugged workhorse instrument for
environmental, clinical research, pharmaceutical, food safety, metals
and geochemical laboratories conducting both routine and complex
elemental analyses.
-
Thermo
Scientific EASY-Spray, which combines a separation liquid
chromatography column, heater, high-voltage electrode and emitter into
one ready-made assembly for protein and peptide mass spectrometry
analysis. A unique connector design significantly reduces the risk of
leaks when studying peptides and other biomolecules.
-
Thermo
Scientific Dionex ICS-4000, the first integrated high-pressure ion
chromatography (HPIC) system that combines three detectors –
electrochemical, charge, and conductivity – in a small footprint
occupying minimal bench space for use in environmental, food and
beverage, chemical and pharmaceutical analyses.
Thermo Fisher has been recognized for more than 50 products since the
inception of the R&D 100 awards program in 1963.
