Thermo Fisher Scientific to donate NanoDrop 1000 spectrophotometers

Thermo Fisher will refurbish all traded-in instruments and donate them to Seeding Labs, an organization that places scientific instrumentation in the academic institutions of developing nations.

Thermo Fisher Scientific NanoDrop Marketing UV-Vis senior global director Hrissi Samartzidou said when a new instrument arrives at a laboratory, however, another may be put out of service.

"Together with Seeding Labs we can ensure that these instruments continue to serve science, supporting and expanding scientific research in institutions that otherwise could not afford this technology," Samartzidou said.
