Sinopec Standardizes on Thermo Scientific LIMS and CDS
WALTHAM, Mass., March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Thermo Fisher
Scientific Inc. (NYSE: TMO), the world leader in serving science, today
announced that Sinopec, the largest company in China and its leading
producer and supplier of oil and petrochemical products, signed a contract
to standardize on Thermo Scientific laboratory information management
systems (LIMS), chromatography data systems (CDS) and desktop spectroscopy
software. As the corporate standard at Sinopec, the systems will be used to
track, store, manage, report and share data enterprise-wide. The
standardization project is focused on cost savings and reducing
time-to-market, as well as improving overall product quality through more
efficient use of data.
"Sinopec is a natural fit for Thermo Scientific software solutions,"
said Lew Rosenblum, president of Thermo Fisher Scientific China. "We bring
to the table more than two decades of experience serving the petrochemical
industry, and we have the largest direct informatics sales and support
organization in China with products that are proven, flexible and adaptable
for an enterprise of this size and scope. Sinopec can be sure Thermo Fisher
is prepared to meet their needs, now and as they continue to evolve."
After a pilot implementation at its Sinopec Guangzhou Branch, the
company decided to implement Thermo Scientific SampleManager LIMS(TM),
Atlas CDS(TM) and GRAMS enterprise software throughout multiple
laboratories in its refinery, chemical and R&D facilities in China. At the
Quality Inspection Center in Guangzhou, operators now have real-time data
monitoring and are alerted to any data variation. When irregularities are
spotted, system users can take immediate action to probe for possible
causes and make necessary adjustments to ensure product quality.
