Enda mer trivielle ting fra Thermo:

"Infectious disease researchers working to solve the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic are in need of automated, next-generation sequencing technology that is able to deliver results in real-time in order to combat the virus," said Dr. Carl Morrison, senior vice president of Scientific Development and Integrative Medicine at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, who will be employing the Genexus System as part of a new precision-medicine research effort, the Western New York Immunogenomic COVID-19 Study.

"As we continue to support our customers by providing millions of COVID-19 tests each week, Thermo Fisher is increasing its efforts even further to accelerate the next phase of SARS-CoV-2 research with our next generation sequencing technology," said Peter Silvester, senior vice president and president of Life Sciences Solutions at Thermo Fisher Scientific. "The Genexus System is the only platform with the speed, ease of use and automation designed to help new-to-NGS and experienced researchers across multiple sites collaborate and quickly deliver critical data for today's unprecedented research needs. The GlobalAccess Sequencing Program leverages our heritage of supporting infectious disease outbreaks and makes our newest platform more accessible to those who are working together around the world to help answer the important questions associated with the pandemic."

Sier bare loop jeg da :-)

Tydelig det fremdeles er reiseforbud:-)

Det er spændende læsning!

Jeg er virkelig spændt på hvor meget dette kan aflæses i AZ. På kort sigt tænker jeg det bliver meget tydeligt, men man kan blive en smule bekymret over deres "trump-agtige" tilgang med "start here stay here".

"The Plainville expansion significantly enhances our 'start here, stay here' strategy, ensuring that customers have an uninterrupted pathway from development through commercialization," said Michel Lagarde, executive vice president of Thermo Fisher Scientific. "Between Plainville and our other expanded sites in the U.S., we're increasing viral vector production to accelerate cell and gene therapy innovation, giving hope to more patients everywhere."

Spændende om de kunne finde på at starte egen produktion af enzymer for at efterleve deres strategi endnu mere, evt. igennem opkøb af virksomheder som AZ eller ved at starte egenproduktion i USA. Jeg hæfter mig dog ved at de skriver "from development through commercialization" hvilket potentielt kunne tolkes som værende efter AZ levere deres produkter.?

Om ikke andet vil deres opskalering formentlig smitte positivt af på BIOTEC de kommende år.

Det er ett av to etter mitt syn: enten har de kokt sammen noe eget og oppfører seg som konkurrent. Eller så drar de på samlet kompetanse fra sitt nettverk.

Slik jeg har lært Thermo å kjenne har de ingenting imot å dra inn ekstern kompetanse. Om de finner det formålstjenlig så kjøper de opp likevel.

Väldigt intressant!

i alle fald er en sådan produktion først igang i 2022 og med væksten i TF, vil de alt andet lige være tvunget til at benytte AZ produkter i en rum tid, fremover. De skifter ikke lige sådan AZ produkter ud i deres eksisterende produkter. Jeg ser mange positive tendenser i dette samarbejde.

Interessant:

This third expansion further increases the number of high-throughput PCR instruments that labs can use to run tests and also provides new options for reagents and consumables used in sample preparation and extraction to provide greater flexibility in testing workflows.

FDA er enkle å ha med å gjøre for tiden

Og det er ikke alle covid19 tester som holder like høy kvalitet:

Jeg spår konsolidering og frafall av de mer lykke pregede aktørene når støvet får lagt seg

Og så utvider de kapasiteten enda mer. Hva vet Thermo?
