Press Release Body: Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving
science, will showcase its new informatics offerings on #105/204, hall B1 at
Analytica 2008, Messegelände Munich, from April 1 - 4, 2008. In keeping with the
"Moving Science Forward" theme of its Thermo Scientific-branded products, the
company will unveil a range of innovative new informatics products designed
specifically to help scientists plan, manage and optimize the performance of their
laboratories.

The Thermo Scientific informatics exhibit at Analytica 2008 will feature new
additions to its laboratory information management system (LIMS) and chromatography
data system (CDS) portfolio, including the European debut of Darwin 3.0 LIMS, its
purpose-built solution for pharmaceutical manufacturing, R&D and QA/QC laboratories.
The newest features built into the latest release of Darwin have been designed to
help organizations meet FDA regulations, bring significant time savings in
validation efforts, and afford cost savings in personnel and production time to the
pharmaceutical laboratories. Darwin LIMS fully integrates environmental monitoring
data into the batch record. The built-in charting tools allow users to visualize
environmental monitoring samples by location. This ensures that any failure is
apparent at the batch level and allows operations to quickly determine whether the
source of the contamination is in the laboratory or the production environment. This
functionality enables laboratory managers to react to nonconforming product before
it reaches the consumer.

"By linking this data to the LIMS directly, pharmaceutical companies using Darwin
can have greater confidence in the quality of their results and ultimately in the
quality of the product they bring to the consumer. We believe no other LIMS vendor
can offer the scope, breadth and depth of this functionality," says Dave Champagne
vice president and general manager for informatics. Thermo Scientific Darwin 3.0
also includes built-in dashboard ready functionality to allow pharmaceutical lab
managers make faster decisions.

Also on display will be Thermo Scientific SampleManager LIMST, the company's
flagship product for industrial process laboratories. SampleManager 9.2 makes its
Analytica debut on booths #105/204. With version 9.2, SampleManager users benefit
from a new and intuitive interface that is built on the Microsoft .NET framework
with easy-to-use functionality. When users select data sets, the new, "inductive"
interface simplifies work by presenting only certain, pre-defined tasks or steps
that can be followed - greatly reducing errors and saving time. SampleManager also
addresses the growing market need to comply with ISO 17025, specifically validation
of methods, instrument calibration, control of non-conformance testing and reporting
of results.

Visitors to booth #105/204 will also see a "sneak preview" of the next-generation
Thermo Scientific Chromatography Data System (CDS), which integrates with LIMS and
other data management systems to control LC/GC instruments and modules from numerous
vendors in a manner that enables compliance with FDA regulations, including 21 CFR
Part 11. The newest version of Atlas CDST also provides for chromatographic data
mining, scalable WAN deployments, and enhanced security, in a real 24/7 acquisition
environment. Thermo Scientific Atlas CDS provides a highly scalable client/server
environment for laboratory LAN and WAN networks across a range of industrial
settings such as pharmaceutical, petrochemical, chemical, environmental, water and
wastewater treatment, and the food and beverage.

In addition, Analytica delegates can see product demonstrations of the entire Thermo
Scientific informatics portfolio, including; Watson LIMS, the industry standard for
bioanalytical laboratories and CROs; Galileo LIMS, which enables high-throughput
compound screening for in-vitro ADME screening; and Nautilus LIMS for dynamic
environments that require a flexible solution that can be easily modified as their
workflows change, like research and contract organizations. Also on display is
Thermo Scientific GRAMS spectroscopy software.
