Thermo Fisher Scientific will be presenting at Booth 4039 throughout the four-day AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo, presenting various workshops on diagnostic medicine. The sessions focus on how laboratories are taking advantage of new sampling techniques using Thermo Scientific™ Orbitrap™ technology to more effectively address the needs of disease diagnosis.

The event provides the opportunity to connect with global leaders in clinical chemistry, molecular diagnostics and mass spectrometry, alongside other key areas in laboratory medicine. The clinical lab expo also features more than 200 new product introductions each year, with the opportunity to hear about vital research and take part in lectures, workshops and other educational experiences.

Register for the Thermo Fisher Scientific workshops here.

Thermo Fisher Scientific will also be previewing some of its innovative Thermo Scientific solutions, including:

  • Thermo Scientific™ CW3 Cell Washer
  • TSX505 high-performance undercounter refrigerator
  • Thermo Scientific™ Prelude™ LX4MD
  • Phadia Laboratory Systems for ImmunoCAP™ and EliA™

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.

Refrigerators Freezers and CryogenicsRefrigerators, Freezers & Cryogenics can be used for preservation or experimental purposes. Types of freezers include deep freeze, -80C°C, ultra-low temperature, explosion proof, cryogenic and controlled rate freezers. Freezing is also used in freeze-drying equipment for dehydration processes. Feature to consider in freezers include temperature control and recorders, failure alarms and self-closing mechanisms.Clinical ChemistryBiochemistry (or clinical chemistry) involves the analysis of bodily fluids using chemical tests. Techniques used include HPLC, chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, immunochemical, electrophoresis, turbidometric / spectrophotometric assay, MRI and ISE analysis. Tests are often carried out on plasma or serum but urine (urinalysis) and fecal specimens are also processed.AACCThe American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC) Annual Meeting and Clinical Lab Expo is the largest meeting for clinical laboratory professionals in the world. This year's meeting is being held in Atlanta, USA, July 26th-30th, 2015.Molecular DiagnosticsMolecular diagnostics use an individual’s genetic code and gene expression to diagnose and monitor diseases. The technique is used increasingly in the field of infectious diseases and oncology, as well as areas such as coagulation, HLA typing and pharmacogenomics. Molecular diagnostics plays a pivotal role in personalized medicine.
