Its new DXRxi Raman imaging microscope, Virtuoso Vial Identification System and Instant Connect Helium Saver Module are also being demonstrated, alongside a number of mass spectrometry innovations.

Thermo Fisher Scientific enjoyed a record-breaking business performance in the fourth quarter of 2013 and expects to achieve further growth this year, thanks to the recent acquisition of Life Technologies.
