Thermo Fisher Scientific is pleased to announce the release of Thermo Scientific™ Watson LIMS™ software version 7.7.1 SP1, available for download here.

This Service Pack release delivers updates only to the currently supported instrument gateway installation files. The affected gateways are upgraded from Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) 4.0 to MSXML 6.0. Previously released Watson LIMS instrument integration gateways utilized MSXML v4, which has been identified as a potential security vulnerability by Microsoft Corporation. Information about the MSXML v4 security issue is available at the following link: Microsoft Security Bulletin MS14-067 - Critical | Microsoft Learn

Please be advised that we are returning to in person training in January 2023 starting with our training facilities in West Palm Beach (WPB) Florida. More customers are requesting in-person training. In fact, we have already delivered several onsite training courses over the last couple of months. As such we want to offer an in-person option for our regularly scheduled virtual courses.

Accordingly, we are retrofitting our classroom in WPB to accommodate in-person and virtual learning simultaneously using a state-of-the-art audio-visual solution. Items such as improved HD video, drop down mics, and amplifiers will enable us pull in remote students to an in-person class giving both in person and remote learners an optimal experience.

Continuing to offer a remote option is beneficial for:

• Customers not wanting to travel or unable to travel due to resource or budgetary constraints
• Employee & Partner training

We currently have courses scheduled into the first half of the year. Customers can choose which option make the most sense to them.

• Virtual AMER USA
• West Palm Beach, FL USA

Current schedules for EMEA and APAC

• Virtual EMEA UK
• Virtual APAC Australia

Once we roll out these classes out in North America and learn more about the hybrid experience we will be extending this model to our Altrincham UK facility next.

As we had to pivot quickly in March of 2020, we must do so again to meet the changing landscape of software education.

Regardless of the modality of training the most important ingredient to successful LIMS education is the instructor and we have some of the best in the business that have incredible passion for what they do.

Thank you and happy holidays.
