Re: Thermo Electron Corporation Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended File No. 333-134868

Dear Mr. Mancuso:

Pursuant to Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Thermo Electron Corporation (the "Registrant") hereby requests acceleration of effectiveness of its Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-134868), as amended, to July 21, 2006 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time, or as soon as possible thereafter.

In connection with the foregoing request for acceleration of effectiveness, the Registrant hereby acknowledges the following:

o Should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

o The action of the Commission or staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Registrant from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

o The Registrant may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
