Thermo Electron has announced that its Informatics business received the 2005 Frost and Sullivan Award for Market Leadership, based on the growth consulting company's recent analysis titled The U.S Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) Market

The award recognizes Thermo's market share leadership achieved through the implementation of market strategy, expanding operations and product innovation.

Thermo is credited with a commanding 22 percent share of the U.S.

LIMS market, achieved through is multifaceted offering of more than a half dozen solutions, according to Frost and Sullivan's report.

"We are honored to receive this prestigious award from Frost and Sullivan," said Dave Champagne, vice president and general manager of Thermo's Informatics business.

"Our goal now is to expand on our market leadership and make Thermo the standard suite of laboratory software." A pioneer in LIMS with its flagship SampleManager, a leading system with first customers continuing to benefit from modern updates, Thermo through the '90s expanded its informatics offering with the development of Nautilus LIMS for research and development applications and Atlas CDST for multi-industry, global organizations.

The 2004 acquisition of InnaPhase Corporation, a leading provider of pharmaceutical-focused software, enhanced Thermo's portfolio and fit strategically with the company's move to commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) informatics solutions.

From the acquisition, Thermo added to its portofolio Watson LIMS, the industry standard for bioanalysis; Galileo LIMS, designed specifically for in vitro ADME/Tox applications; and the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic tools, Enterprise Pharmacology Series and Kinetica.

Thermo's efforts now, according to Champagne, are to develop and refine LIMS solutions for specialized laboratory applications, built on a common, unified and robust technology platform.

The first product introduction under these guidelines is Darwin LIMS, available in Q1 2006, developed specifically for pharmaceutical quality assurance/quality control.

"Thermo's multifaceted product offering creates a strong sales platform to leverage its LIMS among existing and new client accounts," said Jessica Shah, Frost and Sullivan research analyst.
