Thermo Fisher Scientific introduces the Thermo Scientific™GENESYS™ G5 series of visible and UV-visible spectrophotometers. This series is designed to help your laboratory standardize workflows, simplify routine testing, and expand analytical capabilities as your requirements evolve. This system is ideal for academic and teaching laboratories, providing students with hands-on experience using industry-relevant UV-Vis equipment while maintaining the ease of use required in educational settings. As laboratories face increasing testing demands and limited resources, this platform enables multiple UV-Vis analyzes on a single system, helping streamline operations and improve consistency between methods.

At the heart of the GENESYS™ G5 Suite, which includes GENESYS™ G5 Vis, GENESYS™ G5 UV-Vis, and GENESYS™ G5 UV-Vis Pro, is an expanded software ecosystem designed to simplify routine testing while supporting more advanced laboratory requirements. Application-specific software packages for water analysis, food and beverage testing, life science workflows, and color measurements offer guided workflows and preconfigured methods to help improve consistency and reduce setup time. For example, water quality laboratories can use guided workflows to perform routine nutrient and contaminant analysis, and food and beverage manufacturers can use the same platform to support quality control testing across their production environments.
The needs of modern laboratories continue to evolve, and customers are looking for solutions that can evolve with them. With GENESYS™ G5, we are building an expanded software ecosystem based on proven UV-Vis performance, enabling laboratories to streamline routine testing and support more advanced workflows. Combined with configurable workflows, data management features, and wide accessory compatibility, this platform reduces complexity, improves consistency, and supports compliance while expanding the range of analyzes labs can perform on a single system. ”
