Thermo Electron Announces Major Laboratory Informatics Conference

Philadelphia, PA (August 2, 2005) – Thermo Electron Corporation (NYSE: TMO), the leader in laboratory information management systems, has scheduled its annual users meeting and laboratory informatics conference, Thermo Informatics World (TIW) 2005
North America, for September 19-23 at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point resort (http://www.coconutpoint.hyatt.com) in Bonita Springs, Florida. The conference theme, Relieving Business Pain, focuses on Thermo’s solutions to relieve customers’ major business challenges.

This event, for the first time since Thermo’s September 2004 acquisition of InnaPhase Corporation, brings together users of leading software solutions,
including SampleManager™, Watson™, Galileo ™, Nautilus™ and LabManager LIMS; Atlas™
chromatography data system; and Enterprise Pharmacology Series and Kinetica PK/PD

TIW provides conference attendees – users, senior laboratory and IT managers from all industries – the opportunity to meet and discuss issues and trends concerning laboratory informatics, evolving technologies, and changing market requirements. The
program for 2005 includes presentations from industry leaders. Attendees will also learn about complementary technologies and services during a Partner Exposition evening.

A new program feature is Thermo’s Tech Support Central, in which technical support engineers will be available to field specific questions users have for their LIMS or CDS.

Continuing the tradition of customer involvement, TIW features product breakout sessions including interactive workshops with Thermo’s software development and product management teams. There is a conference stream focused on value-added
services to discuss such issues as validation, systems migration, and services methodology. In addition, two days of specific product training have been scheduled
