Thermo Fisher Scientific, a worldwide leader in scientific research solutions, announced that the Company is joining forces with NVIDIA to combine the power of artificial intelligence and analytical instruments to automate and accelerate scientific research.
“The collaboration will integrate Thermo Fisher’s strong capabilities in lab informatics and scientific instruments with NVIDIA’s comprehensive AI compute infrastructure. Through the use of NVIDIA’s AI platform that comprises NVIDIA DGX Spark, NVIDIA NeMo, and NVIDIA BioNeMo, the collaboration is set to transform labs with AI-powered automation solutions and enable researchers to focus on innovation.”
Most of the procedures undertaken in research and clinical labs today experiment setup, the operation of instruments, sample preparation, and data interpretation are manual and time-consuming. This collaboration endeavors to change all that by embedding intelligent systems that link instruments and data analytics into robust AI models, streamlining workflows, and making high-performance laboratories a reality.
Thermo Fisher will integrate its scientific instruments and informatics solutions offered in the laboratory setting into the world of AI provided through the NVIDIA ecosystem. This will help create easier-to-use lab systems. Additionally, the systems will help laboratories capitalize on real-time insights derived from data.
