Thermo Fisher Scientific to Unveil Major New LIMS at PITTCON 2010

NewswireToday – /newswire/ – Philadelphia, PA, United States, 01/07/2010 – Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., the world leader in serving science, will unveil a new LIMS solution within booth #2757 at PITTCON 2010, being held from February 28-March 5 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla (NYSE: TMO).

   
 

Under the theme “Connecting all of Science,” the company will also showcase innovative new analytical instruments, software and laboratory workflow solutions that comprise its Thermo Scientific brand.

The Thermo Scientific exhibit at PITTCON 2010 will showcase a new full-featured LIMS that offers automated data management and is designed specifically for small to mid-sized laboratories. In addition, the company will showcase a new release of the industry-leading Thermo Scientific Watson LIMS that offers enhanced functionality for large molecule bioanalysis in pharmaceutical and contract research organization laboratories. Watson 7.4.1 extends the flexibility of the cutpoint calculations in the Immune Response Module (IRM) and allows samples analyzed with the IRM to be processed through Watson’s Incurred Sample Reanalysis (ISR) functionality. This extends the usefulness of Watson to bioanalytical labs and keeps all processes for both small and large molecule research contained within a single database.

Thermo Fisher Scientific will also highlight its recently introduced Thermo Scientific CONNECTS initiative which bridges the gap between laboratory-generated data and enterprise-level information required for mission-critical management decisions. CONNECTS delivers connectivity between Thermo Scientific LIMS and laboratory instruments, equipment and other resources, and it enables the integration of laboratory data with ERP systems, PIMS, MES and other collaboration tools throughout the organization.

In addition to displaying its informatics solutions during PITTCON 2010, Thermo Fisher Scientific will exhibit a wide range of industry-leading instrumentation and services designed to simplify complex workflows and processes. The company also plans to launch new instruments, columns and laboratory equipment during the event.
