Thermo Electron Software Named "Readers' Choice" For Spectroscopy, LIMS and CDS Products
Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) July 27, 2005 -- Thermo Electron
Corporation (NYSE: TMO) today announced that its GRAMS desktop spectroscopy
software is named the 2005 Readers' Choice Award winner for spectroscopy
software in an annual survey*, and that Thermo's SampleManager laboratory
information management system and Atlas chromatography data system were
finalists in the LIMS and CDS categories. Thermo is the only company with its
products nominated in these three categories for 2005.
Each year
approximately 45,000 scientific and IT managers are polled for their
recommendations for the best products in their field. This year sees Thermo
Electron nominated in three categories for LIMS, CDS and Spectroscopy Software.
"We are delighted to receive this recognition from the people who are using our
software to make their work easier and more productive," said Dave Champagne,
vice president and general manager of Thermo's informatics business. "The users
of software products provide the best independent testimonial for high value
software, and to receive nominations for three different products is high
praise. Thermo is determined to continue to lead the way in LIMS, CDS and
spectroscopy software development."
The winning nomination was for
Thermo's GRAMS Suite - a desktop spectroscopy data processing and reporting
software solution for visualizing, processing and managing spectroscopy data.
GRAMS offers broad compatibility with many different instrument data types and a
simple user interface. Life and analytical science researchers rely on GRAMS'
powerful collection of processing routines to solve some of their most difficult
data analysis problems. The GRAMS Suite improves access to data and facilitates
collaboration while reducing the need for multiple software packages and
associated training.
Nominated in the LIMS category was SampleManager,
Thermo's flagship LIMS, which is designed for organizations seeking a standard
LIMS for all their labs to enhance productivity and process harmonization. With
proven, dependable technology at its core, the SampleManager solution ensures
predictable deployments and consistent performance. SampleManager can be
implemented to support both local and global lab deployments, is scalable for a
large user base and available in multiple languages. The product integrates with
other applications and instruments, providing a foundation for a complete lab
automation solution.
Finalist in the CDS category, Atlas is an
enterprise chromatography data system designed to scale up from a single
workstation to multi-channel, multi-user client/server implementations. Ideal
for networked, secure and regulated environments, Atlas controls hundreds of
instruments from a variety of vendors. Atlas was developed in partnership with
leading chromatographers to easily configure to any laboratory's workflow while
providing the flexibility to integrate with LIMS and other data management
systems for a scalable, compliant solution.
* The 2005 Readers' Choice
comprises a survey of readers undertaken annually by Scientific Computing &
Instrumentation to determine product preferences in approximately 20 informatics
categories. The results to the 2005 survey were announced 11 July
2005.
