Key Sub-Brands and Representative Products

Thermo Fisher integrates three well-known sub-brands that anchor specific parts of your workflow. Invitrogen supports DNA/RNA and cloning tasks; Applied Biosystems covers genetic analysis and real-time quantification; and Gibco focuses on cell culture media, sera, and supplements you use every day.

1. Invitrogen

Invitrogen products streamline nucleic acid and protein workflows—spanning purification, cloning, transfection, reverse transcription, and detection. You can build dependable, step-by-step methods around these kits and enzymes and maintain consistency across projects and teams.

Representative examples: Lipofectamine™ transfection reagents; SuperScript™ reverse transcriptases; Dynabeads™ magnetic beads; nucleic acid purification kits.

2. Applied Biosystems

Applied Biosystems brings instruments, plastics, master mixes, and calibration tools for qPCR and sequencing-adjacent workflows. The goal is an easier setup, higher consistency, and straightforward documentation to satisfy internal QC and external audits.

Representative examples: Real-time PCR instruments and plastics; TaqMan™ assays; qPCR master mixes; calibration and verification materials.

3. Gibco

Gibco provides the culture media, sera, and supplements that keep cells healthy and experiments reproducible. With defined formulations and batch documentation, you can move from pilot to scale without re-engineering the basics.

Representative examples: DMEM, RPMI, MEM lines; FBS and qualified sera; supplements such as GlutaMAX™ and non-essential amino acids.

FAQs

The answers below summarize common purchasing and compliance questions so you can reuse them in internal notes. If your organization needs specific language for approvals, include those requirements in your quote request and we’ll tailor the documentation.

Q: Can you match discontinued or legacy catalog numbers?
A: Yes—share the legacy number and intended use. We’ll identify the current equivalent or closest validated alternative and provide documentation for review.

Q: Can you supply batch-specific CoA and SDS?
A: We can attach current CoA/SDS and note batch availability. For controlled materials, some documents are released only after order confirmation.

Q: How are temperature-sensitive items shipped?
A: Items that require cold chain ship with appropriate packaging and couriers. We’ll confirm transit time windows and delivery scheduling before payment.

Q: Can you consolidate multi-lab or multi-site orders?
A: Yes. We’ll prepare a single quote with line-level delivery notes and cost centers as needed.

Q: Do you offer alternatives during supply constraints?
A: We propose compatible options with technical notes so your reviewers can accept or request changes quickly.
