Overview
With over five decades of innovation in spectroscopy, materials characterization, and process analytics, Thermo Fisher Scientific empowers pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturers to bring therapies to patients faster - safely, compliantly, and efficiently.
Our portfolio of Thermo Scientific™ instruments and software supports every stage of the molecule lifecycle, from discovery through commercial manufacturing. From early molecular profiling to process analytical technology (PAT) and final quality release, our integrated solutions help ensure data integrity, process efficiency, and regulatory confidence.
We work in partnership with the pharmaceutical industry to apply advanced technologies in ways that enable manufacturers to have better information and control over their processes. From raw material identification through manufacturing operations to finished and packaged pharmaceutical product inspection, we offer a complete range of technologies and business solutions that can help improve each stage of the production process, gain efficiencies, and deliver a higher quality product to the end-consumer.
Solutions across the drug lifecycle
Research & discovery
Accelerate discovery with high-sensitivity, low-volume analytical tools that deliver reproducible data even from scarce samples. Our NanoDrop™ microvolume spectrophotometers and fluorometers, GENESYS™ Vis/UV-Vis Spectrophotometers and Evolution™ UV-Vis Spectrophotometer instruments, and DXR™ SmartRaman spectrometers provide rapid molecular insight and material identification, supporting target validation and early screening. These technologies give researchers the confidence to make faster go/no-go decisions and strengthen the foundation for scale-up and compliance.
Formulation & process development
Scale from grams to pilot batches with confidence. Bench-scale extruders, rheometers, and FT-NIR analyzers help optimize formulations, assess stability, and ensure consistent API dispersion. Complementary XRD and FTIR systems identify polymorphs and crystallinity to improve solubility and bioavailability - critical for modern dosage form design. Each platform is built to align with Quality by Design (QbD) principles and 21 CFR Part 11 requirements, streamlining regulatory submission and method transfer.
Clinical and commercial manufacturing
Ensure process reliability and product quality at scale. Inline and at-line process analyzers - such as the MarqMetrix™ All-In-One Raman, Prima BT/PRO Process Mass Spectrometers, and Antaris™ II FT-NIR - enable real-time PAT monitoring for consistent production. Handheld TruScan™ G3 analyzers provide non-destructive raw material verification through sealed packaging, reducing sampling delays and ensuring regulatory compliance. Our inline inspection systems (X-ray, checkweighers, and metal detectors) protect final product integrity through fill, finish, and packaging.
Quality control & regulatory confidence
Thermo Scientific analytical platforms are backed by validated, GMP- and 21 CFR Part 11–ready software suites, including OMNIC™ Paradigm and Security Suite, ensuring data traceability, audit readiness, and compliance across global operations. Our technologies help pharmaceutical teams maintain alignment with USP, EP, and FDA standards while safeguarding data integrity from research to release.
Services & support
We provide comprehensive service and support to help minimize cost of ownership, maximize uptime, and maintain compliance. Our tiered plans include preventive maintenance, priority response, calibration, and remote monitoring to keep operations running efficiently. Order OEM-compliant spare parts directly from Thermo Fisher with confidence in their quality and compatibility and rely on our global technical support network to reduce downtime across spectroscopy, extrusion, compounding, process analysis, and inspection systems.
