September 8, 2023 – Thermo Fisher Scientific has been recognized by the R&D 100 Awards, honoring the top 100 revolutionary products in science and technology from around the world, for three unique innovations that aid researchers’ and scientists’ work in a variety of life science applications, including bioproduction and small-molecule analysis.
The three award-winning Thermo Fisher innovations include:
- The Thermo Scientific™ DynaSpin™ Single-use Centrifuge, recognized in the Analytical/Test category for lab equipment, life sciences technologies and analytical instrumentation, is an innovative technology providing a more sustainable way to separate cells from proteins, antibodies and other biomolecules to support the development of a wide range of biologics, including vaccines and other biotherapeutics. The DynaSpin system helps reduce plastic waste by 69%, manufacturing footprints by 32% and warehousing footprints by up to 78%. The use of the product also generates 74% less chemical and liquid waste compared to traditional stainless-steel centrifuges.
- The Thermo Scientific™ Orbitrap™ Ascend Tribrid™ Mass Spectrometer, also recognized in the Analytical/Test category, provides a single versatile platform with single-cell sensitivity for proteomics and metabolomics. Orbitrap Ascend Tribrid MS analyzes more samples at lower concentrations enabling faster, more sensitive analysis, to assist in producing high-quality data for macromolecule experiments with ease.
- The Thermo Fisher Scientific Gibco™ CTS™ DynaCellect™ Magnetic Separation System (CTS DynaCellect system), which won in the Process/Prototyping category for manufacturing process improvements, is a closed, automated isolation, activation and bead removal system for cell therapy development and manufacturing. The CTS DynaCellect system provides a scalable, flexible, automated and closed system to help customers commercialize high performing therapies as well as the development of the next class of cell therapy breakthroughs.
Thermo Fisher has invested over $1.5 billion in research and development to build a superior and evolving portfolio. This unique mix of products and services helps Thermo Fisher’s customers accelerate innovation and enhance productivity while optimizing quality.
