Registration Statement on Form S-4
File No. 333-165173
Request for Acceleration
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Thermo Fisher
Scientific Inc. (the “Registrant”) hereby requests acceleration of the effective date of its
Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-165173), as amended (the “Registration
Statement”), so that it may become effective at 12:00 p.m. on April 12, 2010, or as soon thereafter
as practicable.
The Registrant hereby acknowledges that:
(i)
should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or the
staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the Registration Statement
effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to
the Registration Statement;
(ii)
the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated
authority, in declaring the Registration Statement effective, does not relieve the
Registrant from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the
disclosure in the Registration Statement; and
(iii)
the Registrant may not assert the action of the Commission or the staff,
acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the Registration Statement
effective as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person
under the federal securities laws of the United States.
Very truly yours,
Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.
