Thermo Fisher Scientific Named Readers' Choice Winner for Informatics Portfolio

Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, announces that its informatics solutions have won Scientific Computing’s 2007 Readers’ Choice Awards in four categories – more than any other vendor. The awards represent the company’s end-to-end informatics offering including CDS (Chromatography Data Systems), Spectroscopy Software, LIMS (Laboratory Information Management Systems) and Bioinformatics. Each year approximately 45,000 scientific and IT managers vote for the best products in their field, and this year Thermo Scientific Atlas™ CDS, SampleManager™ LIMS, Kinetica™ bioinformatics software and GRAMS spectroscopy software achieved winning nominations.

Dave Champagne, vice president and general manager of informatics at Thermo Fisher Scientific, comments: “This recognition demonstrates the strength of Thermo Fisher Scientific’s informatics offerings in the marketplace and underscores the support we have from our customers. Users provide a valuable, independent testimonial and to receive nominations for our entire range of product offerings is extremely rewarding.”
