Thermo is Revolution
With the complete sequencing of the human genome, accomplished in 2000, a significant
milestone in human scientific pursuit was reached. No sooner was this accomplished, however,
than the race to characterize the protein products of all of those newly-discovered genes began.
The concept of the human proteome and the science of proteomics were born.
The characterization of proteins has proven to be a formidable analytical challenge. Proteins in
biological samples are present in vast numbers, at widely varying concentrations, and in myriad
modified forms. Combine this overt complexity with universal organizational demands for
increased throughput and operational efficiency and the challenge can seem insurmountable.
Fortunately, Thermo Electron can help. With an impressive array of innovative new products,
technologies, and integrated solutions, Thermo is redefining the practical limits of what is
possible in proteomics research.
