Thermo Fisher Scientific Acquires Micro-Volume UV-Vis Instrumentation

Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. More...
(Waltham, MA, USA) has acquired NanoDrop Technologies, LLC (Wilmington, DE, USA), a manufacturer of microvolume ultraviolet visible (UV-Vis) instrumentation.

The acquisition will strengthen Thermo Fisher's range of UV-Vis spectrophotometry instruments for applications involving small sample volumes. For example, micro-volume samples are used in emerging life sciences research that involves measurement of DNA and proteins. NanoDrop, has annual revenues of approximately US$35 million.

"Growing demand from our laboratory customers to accelerate sample preparation time is now compounded by the need to work with smaller sample sizes,” said Marijn E. Dekkers, president and CEO of Thermo Fisher Scientific. "NanoDrop's patented technologies uniquely allow customers to quickly and easily analyze difficult microvolume samples without the need for dilution. This preserves precious samples to greatly increase laboratory productivity.”

NanoDrop currently produces three products--the NanoDrop ND-1000 and ND-8000 UV-Vis spectrophotometers and the NanoDrop ND-3300 fluorescence spectrophotometer. The ND-1000 is a full-spectrum UV-Vis spectrophotometer used to quantify nucleic acids, proteins, fluorescent dyes, and other compounds. The ND-8000 is also a full-spectrum UV-Vis spectrophotometer that can measure eight samples at a time, permitting measurement of 96 samples in five minutes. The ND-3300 is a versatile fluorometer with broad excitation range that enables the use of microreactions for quantitation of limited mass. These instruments are highly versatile tools that are suitable for a wide variety of laboratories and uses, including life-sciences research and industrial applications.

The NanoDrop product line will be integrated into Thermo Fisher's scientific instruments business, part of its Analytical Technologies Segment, and will be marketed under the company's Thermo Scientific technology brand.

Images from patient T1, who had menstrual cycle–dependent right shoulder pain. (A) Maximum-intensity-projection images show abnormal findings for right diaphragm (arrowhead), bilateral round ligaments, peritoneum around bilateral ovaries, and left fallopian tube. Combined PET/MRI show hyperintense lesion with focal uptake inferior of right diaphragm, indicative of endometriosis (arrowhead, B). Confirmatory laparoscopy demonstrated extensive pelvic disease and implants of right diaphragm (C) that stained intensely positive for FAP (D).  (Image Credit: Schindler P, Brandt J, Bobe S, et al.
