Thermo Fisher Scientific makes life in the laboratory convenient, albeit lonely at times. The company is a manufacturer and distributor of scientific instruments and laboratory supplies, from chromatographs to Erlenmeyer flasks. Thermo Fisher Scientific serves more than 350,000 customers worldwide in biotech and pharmaceutical companies, clinical diagnostic labs and hospitals, government agencies, research organizations, and universities, among other institutions. The company was formed in the late 2006 merger of Thermo Electron with Fisher Scientific International in a stock-swap transaction valued at nearly $11 billion.
