Thermo Fisher Scientific Ships First Product with InforSense Virtual Machine Inside

InforSense Workflows and Analytics Used to Deliver Automated Protein Annotation for
Proteome Discoverer

London, UK and Cambridge, MA, September 15, 2008 - InforSense Ltd., the leading
provider of next-generation business and scientific intelligence tools, today
announced that Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (NYSE: TMO), the world leader in
serving science, has begun shipping its Proteome Discoverer software with integrated
protein annotation powered by the InforSense Virtual Machine (IVM). This is the
first Thermo Fisher Scientific software that embeds the IVM and marks a major
milestone in a long relationship between the two companies.

Proteome Discoverer's protein annotation capabilities are based on workflows jointly
developed by Thermo Fisher Scientific and InforSense. The workflows perform
automated annotation of proteomics data using information from NCBI and SWISS-PROT
to provide biological context to experimental data. The workflows in Proteome
Discoverer are powered by the IVM: a lightweight, analytical workflow execution
engine that can run on a wide variety of platforms including workstations, servers,
scientific instrumentation, and mobile devices. As a result of its small footprint,
it is effortlessly installed and simple to maintain, update and extend, eliminating
the complexity typically found with traditional software installations.

Proteome Discoverer is fully compatible with the InforSense 5.0 platform, and
customers will be able to build their own annotation workflows and share them via
the InforSense CustomerHub on-line community. Users of Proteome Discoverer can
upgrade to a full InforSense license to build their own analytical workflows and
integrate internal data to provide further annotation.

"As proteomics has evolved, the need to support advanced and flexible annotation of
proteomics data has grown. The IVM gives us the power and flexibility to support the
changing requirements of our customers," said Andreas Hühmer, Proteomics Marketing
Director, Thermo Fisher Scientific.
"The ability to update client software without performing a new distribution and
installation is a major advantage to us, reducing our costs and improving our
ability to respond to our customers."

"Today's announcement is an important milestone for Thermo Fisher and InforSense,
and we are delighted to have worked closely with them to introduce the first Virtual
Machine-based product to the market," said Prof.
Yike Guo, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of InforSense Ltd. "Our work with
Thermo Fisher Scientific is a key collaboration for us and illustrates how our next
generation scientific business intelligence technology is effectively automating
data integration and analysis tasks. We believe that this real time analytics model
is an important step forward for the life sciences industry."
