NEW ORLEANS, March 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. , the world leader in serving science, today launched significant new technologies at PITTCON 2008 that are designed to make advanced analytical techniques available to a wider range of end users and applications. PITTCON, the world’s largest conference and exposition for laboratory science, is under way in New Orleans from March 3 - 6.
“We have an exciting new product line-up at PITTCON again this year, with innovations that make it easier for our customers to take advantage of the most sophisticated analytical technologies available for their application -- from research to routine,” said Marc N. Casper, executive vice president of Thermo Fisher Scientific. “Our goal is to simplify laboratory processes for our customers so they can move science forward by achieving their goals more rapidly and cost effectively.”
The company is showcasing an array of instruments, equipment, consumables, software and services that fortify Thermo Scientific and Fisher Scientific as the premier brands in the scientific community. This industry-leading portfolio of laboratory offerings is on display in booths 1741 and 1721.
Among the new technologies, products and capabilities introduced this year at PITTCON are:
Molecular Spectroscopy
Thermo Fisher Scientific has leveraged the rugged, reliable architecture of its existing spectroscopy portfolio to deliver a new class of instruments to users who can benefit from FT-IR and Raman capabilities, but who, until now, lacked sufficient time or expertise to use them. New solutions under the theme, “spectroscopy simplified,” include:
Mass Spectrometry and Chromatography
Thermo Fisher Scientific expands the broadest mass spectrometry offering in the industry with innovative systems that dramatically increase the amount of useful information a scientist yields from analyses, with fewer sample preparation requirements, higher throughput and greater confidence in the results. Enhancements to the Thermo Scientific mass spectrometry portfolio include:
Also featured at PITTCON this year is the Applications Lab, located between the Thermo Scientific and Fisher Scientific exhibits in booth 1735. The Lab brings the premier brands together in examples of two complete workflow solutions, for proteomics and food safety applications. The proteomics workflow includes everything necessary for complete differential protein expression analysis -- from cell culture media to the unparalleled mass accuracy of the Orbitrap. The food safety workflow incorporates reagents, chromatography, mass spectrometry, microbiology and LIMS to provide a complete solution for both pesticide residue and pathogen analysis. These typical laboratory workflows show how easily the range of Thermo Fisher Scientific offerings can be integrated in a customer setting.
