New Innovations Address Research Needs Across Entire Genetic Analysis Workflow

For attendees of the 65th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG), Thermo Fisher Scientific is unveiling a range of innovative products and solutions that span the entire genetic analysis workflow (booth #1415). The company is also featuring several poster presentations and a lunch seminar on Wednesday, Oct. 7 at Baltimore Convention Center.

“The genomics information revolution of the past decade has ushered in an exciting new era for a broad range of researchers seeking to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer,” said Chris Linthwaite, president of Genetic Sciences for Thermo Fisher Scientific. “In an effort to bring genomic solutions to all, Thermo Fisher’s genetic analysis portfolio combined with our world-class support helps to address customer needs at every step of the workflow.”

Featured New Products:

• Designed for life scientists who quantify DNA, RNA and proteins, the Thermo Scientific NanoDrop One and NanoDrop OneC UV-Vis microvolume spectrophotometers help researchers streamline data collection with a touchscreen interface in a standalone instrument that offers auto-measure convenience. With integrated Thermo Scientific Acclaro Sample Intelligence technology, scientists can make informed decisions about sample quality and avoid days of troubleshooting downstream applications using contaminant identification, corrected concentrations and guided technical support.
• For researchers looking for a single, simplified solution for the widest range of targeted sequencing applications, the new Ion S5 and Ion S5 XL next-generation sequencing (NGS) systems are rapid, cost-effective and flexible platforms that can be scaled for all research areas. Built upon the proven capabilities of Ion Torrent technology, the new Ion S5 systems combine the ability to sequence gene panels and small genomes as well as exomes, transcriptomes and custom assays. The platforms are designed with plug-and-play, cartridge-based reagents to make setting up and operating the sequencers simple and efficient.
• Designed for low- to mid-throughput laboratories conducting real-time PCR experiments, the Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 3 and QuantStudio 5 Real-Time PCR systems are the first qPCR instruments to connect to the secure Thermo Fisher Cloud computing platform, marking a new era in data sharing and global research collaboration. The QuantStudio 3 and 5 systems are designed to allow researchers to learn, analyze, share, collaborate and obtain support within a single platform.
