Thermo Fisher Scientific Demonstrates its Leadership in Food Safety and Agricultural
Analysis at AOAC

PHILADELPHIA (August 27, 2008) - Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in
serving science, will showcase a selection of its latest laboratory instrumentation
and informatics solutions for food, beverage and agricultural applications at the
AOAC International annual meeting and exposition. The products will be featured in
the Thermo Scientific booths 201, 203 and 205 at the 122nd AOAC 2008 in Dallas from
September 21-24, 2008.

Thermo Fisher Scientific is uniquely positioned to provide the most comprehensive
range of end-to-end solutions to meet the growing demands of global regulatory
agencies concerned about the quality and safety of food intended for human and
animal consumption. The company\'s solutions can be found in all stages of food
production from the farm to the table and from the production of raw materials to
the packaging that delivers the product to the customer. In addition, Thermo Fisher
provides tools to assess the impact of agricultural interventions on the
environment, encompassing the detection of exceptionally low concentrations of
pesticide residues, antibiotics and veterinary residues.

Thermo Fisher will host a number of poster sessions and deliver a presentation
entitled \"The new era in food safety methods through advances in mass spectrometry.\"
The presentation covers food safety regulations from the European Community, Japan
and the U.S., and it will be held on Tuesday, September 23 at 9:45 a.m. in the
Cumberland KL room.

Increased international public concern about the presence of contaminants in the
food chain has led to heightened interest in the regulatory issues regarding
contamination or adulteration of food products. Thermo Fisher Scientific\'s offerings
at AOAC will include a number of progressive solutions for the identification of
contaminants within the food chain and the environment. Products being showcased
include:

o Thermo Scientific Nautilus LIMS data management software, which automates
laboratory workflows by integrating instruments, providing automated screening, user
notifications and providing traceability of sample results back to their source.
Nautilus is designed for use in dynamic laboratories where ongoing analysis, varying
materials and product demands require heightened adaptability. Offering unmatched
flexibility and ease-of-use, the laboratory informatics management system (LIMS)
help organizations such as The Coca-Cola Company in the U.S., Ingredia in France and
the Department of Agriculture in Ireland monitor control and compliance with food,
beverage and agriculture industry related regulations (HACCP, CODEX, 21CFR part 11
and ISO 17025).

o The Thermo Scientific Exactive, a new benchtop LC-MS system, accommodates the most
demanding compound screening and identification applications.
Resolutions of up to 100,000 allow identification of pesticides, metabolites and
other target compounds within complex samples. Eliminating many of the technical
steps that require specialized set-up and operation, the Exactive provides excellent
mass accuracy in positive and negative modes for screening pesticides.

o The Thermo Scientific TSQ Quantum triple quadrupole system enables highly
selective reaction monitoring (H-SRM) performance. Teamed with FAIMS, this
technology provides significant immunity against matrix interferences. It features a
unique ESI probe with Dual Desolvation Zone technology that further optimizes
performance and speeds method development. In combination with the new Thermo
Scientific TriPlusTM Autosampler, any type of injection technique is possible.

o The Thermo Scientific Aria TLX-2 system, powered by TurboFlow technology, offers
the industry\'s most advanced analytical method to reduce the amount of time spent on
sample preparation typically associated with other methods.
In addition, the TLX system offers the only truly independent, parallel,
multi-channel high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system in the industry,
increasing the mass spectrometry throughput and avoiding the high capital costs
associated with other methods.
