Thermo Fisher Scientific and Markes International Announce Global Distribution Agreement

Thermo Fisher Scientific (USA) announce a strategic agreement with Markes International. This new agreement covers non-exclusive, global distribution of Markes Thermal Desorption (TD) instruments that are used in conjunction with Thermo Scientific gas chromatographs (GC) and Thermo Scientific gas chromatograph/mass spectrometers (GC/MS).

This agreement will allow customers requiring thermal desorption to realise productivity gains that Thermo Scientific GC and GC/MS instruments offer. Both TD-enabled GC and GC/MS technologies are now available as original equipment from Thermo Fisher, allowing thermal desorption chromatographers to benefit from Thermo Fisher’s world class installation, service and support.

“The addition of Markes’ world-leading technologies in thermal desorption to our already rich portfolio of sampling options in liquid, headspace and SPME injection means that Thermo Scientific GC and GC/MS systems can be used in even more versatile ways,” said Joergen Olsson, director of marketing for GC and GC/MS, Thermo Fisher Scientific. “This allows scientists to choose the optimised approach that is ideally suited for their
analytical challenge.”
