Thermo Electron Corporation announced that it has acquired Laboratory Management Systems, Inc. (LMSi) of New Castle, Delaware. LMSi is a supplier of regulatory instrument and consulting services to the pharmaceutical and related industries, and generated revenues of $11 million during its 2003 fiscal year.

LMSi specializes in performing instrument and computer systems validation, metrology, and certification, as well as a range of associated consulting services.

Thermo is uniquely positioned to offer customers unparalleled product breadth and the security of partnering with a well-recognized global services provider."
