Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science has recently announced that it has been named as the "Reviewers' Choice Company of the Year", for the second consecutive year by the global community of SelectScience readers and contributors. The company had also received the Reviewers' Choice Company of the Year in 2015.
SelectScience is a leading independent online resource that fulfills the information needs of the global scientific community. The "Company of the Year" award recognizes the company with the highest review rating based on the number of reviews and average rating of all products on SelectScience. As scientists and clinical laboratories often rely on product reviews and peer validation when investing in new laboratory equipment, this award win represents a significant achievement for the company.
The award was handed over to Jakob Gudbrand, president of chromatography and mass spectrometry at Thermo Fisher Scientific, on March 1, 2018, during the SelectScience 20th Anniversary Party at the Pittcon 2018 International Conference and Expo in Orlando, USA.
"It is an honor to receive this award for the second year in a row by the SelectScience global community of scientists and researchers. We are greatly appreciative of the recognition of our continuous commitment to designing new products and technologies that can make a real difference to laboratory workflows and accelerate innovation and improve productivity," said Gudbrand.
SelectScience Editor-in-Chief Kerry Parker, who presented the award, said: "For the second year, a mass spectrometry technology has won the best new product award, demonstrating that this technology is one of the fastest growing techniques for high-throughput screening detection."
Thermo Scientific is a leading manufacturer of high quality centrifuges, histology equipment, and chemistry reagents. The company also won the Best New Drug Discovery & Development Product of 2017 for its Q Exactive® HF-X Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap® Mass Spectrometer announced in February 2018.
