Thermotech Acquires picoSpin

Shanghai, China – Global Leader in Scientific Service Thermo Fisher Scientific (Hereinafter referred to as “Turmofei”) recently announced that the company has completed the manufacture of the world’s first micro NMR spectrometer (NMR) manufacturer. picoSpin's acquisition transaction.

picoSpin was known in the world for the introduction of picoSpin-45, the world's first micro-magnetic spectrometer in 2010. This product provides the industry with an innovative NMR spectrometer product that is only a shoebox-sized but functionally complete and more affordable. This product not only eliminates many limitations in cost, space, and maintenance, but it is also more suitable for academic, industrial, and research applications than conventional nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers that are less practical. With an innovative design that is 70 times smaller than similar products, the NMR spectrometer received the 2012 R&D 100 Award from R&D Magazine.

John Sos, vice president and general manager of Thermo Fisher molecular spectroscopy, said: “Based on the existing spectrum products, the joining of picoSpin has enabled us to acquire more unique products and provide more complete sets of chemical analysis products and services. Thermo Fisher will focus on bringing innovative NMR spectrometers to new markets and create value for customers who have been limited by practicality!"

The acquisition of picoSpin will significantly increase the spectrum of Thermo Fisher's spectrum solutions, allowing it to expand beyond the original complementary Fourier transform spectrometer (FT-IR) and UV-Vis absorption spectrometer (UV-Vis) to a full range. Gas, liquid, isotope ratio, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometers. In addition, Thermo Fisher has been providing a series of analytical tools for undergraduate and postgraduate chemical laboratories, as well as in-house quality assurance and quality control laboratories, and this acquisition will further enhance Thermo Fisher's capabilities in this area.
