Donate and be an instrument of change |
When you trade-up your qualifying PCR or sample prep instrument, it will be donated to a talented scientist making an impact through our partnership with Seeding Labs.
Precise, consistent PCR results for every challenge, application, and budget.
Automate the extraction and purification of DNA, RNA, proteins, and cells.
Thermo Fisher Scientific first supported Seeding Labs’ mission in 2011, when the NanoDro Spectrophotometer trade-in program launched. Since then, the Applied Biosystems™ thermal cycler trade-in program has delivered over 100 instruments to talented scientists at 51 universities in 26 developing countries. The work and passion of these talented scientists combats hunger, obesity, pollution, and much more.
“The PCR machine is an essential component of our research as molecular biologists. It will increase our capacity and improve the quality of seeds we provide to local farmers.”
Dr. Enoch Achigan-Dako
School of Agronomic Sciences, Université d’Abomey-Calavi in Benin
Hunger still impacts over 690 million people around the world. Providing researchers the resources to cultivate healthy crops is one meaningful way to help. Dr. Achigan-Dako’s mission is to support a stronger economy with locally grown crops.
“Having access to a new PCR machine will accelerate research at our institution, improve the quality of our publications, and provide support to research groups that lack access to this kind of equipment.”
Dr. Geovanny Nic Can
Faculty of Engineering at the Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán in Mexico
No more dealing with degraded samples, high costs and potential contamination from sending samples out to other labs to perform PCR. Dr. Nic Can and his team are hopeful for a healthier future and overcoming obesity with adipocyte research.
“We are short of equipment in our labs. Your PCR donation will mean a lot to our department and university at large. Our students will have hands-on experience with the instrument and learn the techniques practically.”
Annastasia Ekandjo and Paulus Kapolo
Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Namibia
The unsafe disposal of poisonous contaminants contributes to environmental pollution and has significant implications on health. Molecular biology research can help dreams for healthy soil, clean water, and a thriving city come become a reality.

Thermo Fisher Scientific has been supporting Seeding Labs since 2011, when we launched a NanoDrop trade-in program. As our first partner from the manufacturing industry, we recognized Thermo Fisher's commitment to global science with our 2018 Global Visionary Award. Since then, equipment donations from Thermo Fisher have been included in 60 Instrumental Access shipments. These instruments have found a productive second home at 47 universities in 25 developing countries! Thanks to Thermo Fisher Scientific, thousands of students and scientists have the tools they need to research, innovate, and discover.
Seeding Labs believes that unleashing the full potential of scientists worldwide is our best hope for fighting global diseases, feeding our growing population, and protecting our planet. Through donations they equip scientists with the tools, training, and connections they need to be on the cutting edge of global discovery.

*This promotion is open to customers in the Australia and New Zealand. Suppliers of life science products are not eligible to participate in this promotion. To qualify for the trade-up discount, customers must purchase a new Applied Biosystems™ thermal cycler and plastics bundle that is of a higher value than the Applied Biosystems™ instrument that is being traded in. Customer must request a trade-in at the time the order for the new instrument is placed. Trade-in instruments must be returned to Life Technologies within 7 days following installation of the new instrument. Trade-in and purchased instruments must be submitted on a one-to-one, trade-to-purchase basis to be considered eligible for the program. Determination of eligibility is at the sole discretion of Life Technologies. Discount will apply to orders received by Life Technologies no later than December 31, 2021, or until promotional supplies are depleted, whichever comes first. The total number of instruments donated to Seeding Labs will depend on the number of instruments traded in. Life Technologies will donate a maximum of 100 thermal cyclers for trade-in with this discount. Discount will apply to the list price in effect at the time the order is received by Life Technologies. Life Technologies will be responsible for shipping costs on the traded-in instrument. Where necessary, customer agrees to allow a field service representative to de-install the instrument from their facilities. Prior to return, customer will fully clean the trade-in unit and decontaminate it of radioactive, biological, toxic, and other dangerous or hazardous materials or substances and, if requested by Life Technologies, customer agrees to complete and return a Certificate of Decontamination to Life Technologies. Life Technologies may withdraw this promotion prior to December 31, 2021, at its sole discretion. Cannot be combined with other discounts or promotions.
