WALTHAM, Mass., Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (NYSE: TMO), the world leader in serving science, today announced the launch of Managed Equipment Solutions, a new subscription-based offering that bundles instrument and equipment procurement with consumables, applications support, software, training and extended service in a convenient and cost-efficient agreement.

Managed Equipment Solutions (MES) is ideal for biopharma companies, academic institutions, healthcare organizations and industrial businesses seeking innovative procurement models that offer all the benefits of premium instrument procurement but with increased flexibility. MES gives customers in research, life sciences, specialty diagnostics and applied markets the assurance of long-term, consistent analytical technology performance with predictable subscription costs and a pathway to future innovation.

"Managed Equipment Solutions is a direct result of our customers asking for a value-added offering that gives them convenient and timely access to our latest instrumentation and equipment innovations," said Dan Shine, senior vice president, and president of Thermo Fisher's Analytical Instruments business. "Through a predictable, fixed-budget subscription, customers can bundle premium technology with all the associated products and services required to support their workflows now, as well as in the future as their research and application needs evolve."
