Thermo Fisher Scientific Launches New Stem Cell Solutions Program

19 Dec 2007

Product news

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, today introduced its Thermo Scientific Stem Cell Excellence program, a new initiative that brings together nearly 100 essential laboratory products and services, spanning instruments, consumables, reagents, and informatics as well as service and automation, to address the needs of stem cell researchers.

The Thermo Scientific Stem Cell Excellence program organizes the company’s offerings around the four key steps in the stem cell workflow: collection/preparation; expansion/differentiation; characterization/analysis; and storage/transport – to cover the full stem cell research process.

The Thermo Scientific Stem Cell Excellence program is supported by a comprehensive web portal – located via the article webpage – which provides detailed product information and supporting application content on the full range of Thermo Scientific products and services associated with stem cell research. Unlike other manufacturers, whose offerings are limited to narrow product categories, the Thermo Scientific Stem Cell Excellence solution offers a choice of proven, best-in-class product offerings, including dedicated stem cell media products from the HyClone® AdvanceSTEM™ product family; high-quality consumables from the Nalgene® and Nunc® product portfolio; time-tested lab instruments from the Sorvall®, Heraeus®, Forma® and Revco® product lines; purified water from its Barnstead® product suite, along with key technologies such as its Nautilus® LIMS software and Matrix® liquid handling automation products.

Announcing this significant new development for Thermo Fisher Scientific, Julie Sperry, vice president, strategic marketing, said, “As the world leader in serving science we are in an unrivalled position to provide researchers with end-to-end workflow solutions to meet their laboratory requirements. This new Stem Cell Excellence program leverages our expansive product portfolio while demonstrating a strong commitment to advancing the exciting area of stem cell research.” Sperry continued, “As a result, we can partner with users to deliver the best tools possible to support this critical research area.”

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins. Find the best cell and tissue culture products, kits and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Lab-on-a-ChipLab-on-a-chip (LOC) technology uses microfluidic chips, such as microarrays, to perform biochemical assays on a small scale. Benefits of lab-on-a-chip include the small volume of sample required as well as the speed of analysis. In selecting lab-on-a-chip devices consider the assay, cost, reliability, sensitivity and signal to noise ratio.Cell Lines Stem Cells and Primary CellsPrimary cell cultures, established cell lines and stem cells are vital for <i>in vitro</i> and <i>ex vivo</i> experimentation. High-quality cells, optimized for your applications, alongside optimized cell substrates, growth medium and supplements, are critical for experimental success. Explore a range of cells suitable for your applications, including isogenic cell lines, competent cells, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cell lines, fungal/bacterial/mammalian cell lines, stem cells and cancer cell lines. Find the best cells for your research in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.LIMSLIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) is an informatics software system used to improve the quality assurance and quality control (QA / QC) of data management. LIMS can be a standard for common lab workflows, such as commercial off the shelf systems (COTS), or customized for more specialized lab use. Systems are available for mainframe computers or PC.Labware and Lab SuppliesLabware and lab supplies include various forms of glassware, plasticware, reagents and personal protective equipment (PPE) and are used across all scientific laboratories, enabling daily tasks to be performed. Explore a range of flasks and beakers, petri dishes, carboys and storage bottles. Labware such as condensers, desiccators and burettes are also available for more specific tasks. Find the best labware and lab supplies in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.
