The three award-winning Thermo Fisher innovations include:

• The Thermo Scientific™ DynaSpin™ Single-use Centrifuge, recognized in the Analytical/Test category for lab equipment, life sciences technologies and analytical instrumentation, is an innovative technology providing a more sustainable way to separate cells from proteins, antibodies and other biomolecules to support the development of a wide range of biologics, including vaccines and other biotherapeutics. The DynaSpin system helps reduce plastic waste by 69%, manufacturing footprints by 32% and warehousing footprints by up to 78%. The use of the product also generates 74% less chemical and liquid waste compared to traditional stainless-steel centrifuges.

• The Thermo Scientific™ Orbitrap™ Ascend Tribrid™ Mass Spectrometer, also recognized in the Analytical/Test category, provides a single versatile platform with single-cell sensitivity for proteomics and metabolomics. Orbitrap Ascend Tribrid MS analyzes more samples at lower concentrations enabling faster, more sensitive analysis, to assist in producing high-quality data for macromolecule experiments with ease.

• The Thermo Fisher Scientific Gibco™ CTS™ DynaCellect™ Magnetic Separation System (CTS DynaCellect system), which won in the Process/Prototyping category for manufacturing process improvements, is a closed, automated isolation, activation and bead removal system for cell therapy development and manufacturing. The CTS DynaCellect system provides a scalable, flexible, automated and closed system to help customers commercialize high performing therapies as well as the development of the next class of cell therapy breakthroughs.
