Thermo Fisher is a company that creates tools that save lives. They stand out from the competition in durability, quality, and precision. They also do more to connect to both the users of their machines and the “end users.” Thermo Fisher balances the needs of users and patients. Every company should be striving towards these attitudes and practices. By remembering its scientists, keeping the experience of the patient in focus, and not being satisfied with “good enough,” Thermo Fisher sets the bar high.

1. Remembering the Human Components of Science

Thermo Fisher remembers that scientists are the driving force behind science. They stay connected to the world of science through their blog. A recent blog post commemorates the Nobel Prize winners of 2017, for example. As more discoveries are made, more tools are created. Keeping the end user in mind provides better tool design.

2. Keeping Patients In Focus

Thermo Fisher designs many products for the medical field. Scientists use lines of precision cancer detection equipment in a lab, but the ultimate recipient is the patient. Test results govern the treatment of patients. The stakes are high: an accurate reading helps find the most effective treatment. Even though a patient’s experience with Thermo Fisher is one step removed from the product, it is even more important than a scientist’s.

In their blog, Thermo Fisher also provides links to studies on increasing patient cancer detection rates and discusses how the use of these sensitive equipment lines will save lives. Increasing the spreading of knowledge is valuable for its own sake, and this company uses their platform as an industry leader to link to studies that will influence patient care with or without the use of their equipment. That’s a dedication to their ultimate goals that other companies would do well to follow.

3. Always Pushing Forward

Thermo Fisher updates and expands their lines regularly. Through feedback from scientists and new discoveries in the field, they work to provide the most accurate results on all of their equipment. Additionally, they value forward progress even when an existing product works. If a new discovery provides a better way to do something, Thermo Fisher continues to find ways to improve and expand it.

Thermo Fisher is a great creator and distributor of medical and scientific equipment. Their philosophies of innovation and connection with the users and beneficiaries of their products set them apart. Finally, by never settling for last year’s success, they bring accuracy and success to the world one innovation at a time.
