The Modern Lab Ecosystem
When we think of scientific breakthroughs, we often focus on advanced analytical technologies like next-generation sequencers, mass spectrometers, or high-end imaging systems. However, the integrity of every complex downstream analysis strictly depends on the essential laboratory equipment that powers the lab every single day.
From maintaining precise cell culture conditions to separating delicate biomolecules and securing long-term sample viability, core lab equipment forms the baseline of scientific reproducibility.
Designed for the Pace of Modern Science & Sustainability
Today’s leading laboratories require more than just functional machinery, demanding ergonomic, intelligent, and sustainable solutions. Thermo Fisher Scientific continues to invest heavily in redesigning core lab platforms to align with modern laboratory goals:
- Certified Environmental Sustainability: Many Thermo Scientific platforms carry the My Green Lab ACT® label and ENERGY STAR® certification, implementing natural hydrocarbon refrigerants (like R290), solid-state Peltier cooling, and adaptive motor drives to reduce energy consumption without sacrificing performance.
- Ergonomics & Noise Reduction: Engineered to reduce lab fatigue through low-noise motor drives, whisper-quiet operational sound levels, and intuitive touchscreen interfaces designed for daily user comfort.
- Sample Integrity & Biocontainment: Advanced tool-free rotor exchanges, certified aerosol-tight biocontainment sealing, and precise IR CO₂ climate management ensure maximum safety for both the researcher and the sample.
The platforms highlighted below represent a curated selection of newly upgraded core laboratory equipment available through Rhenium Bio in Israel.

Key Considerations When Upgrading Core Lab Platforms
Beyond core technical specifications, evaluating these critical operational factors ensures your new equipment integrates seamlessly and delivers maximum long-term value.
Evaluate vertical stacking capabilities, compact footprints, and tool-free rotor or shelf changes that allow your facility to absorb higher throughput without expanding physical bench space.
Factor in lifetime electricity consumption, natural R290 refrigerants, Peltier solid-state cooling, and HVAC heat output reduction to meet modern green lab goals.
Prioritize whisper-quiet operational sound levels (<42 dBA in centrifuges, 44 dBA in ULT freezers) that allow placing core equipment directly inside active research areas.
Ensure compliance with IVD/IVDR, My Green Lab ACT®, or 21 CFR Part 11 requirements, backed by local certified application and technical service teams in Israel.
