* No purchase necessary to enter or receive a grant. To enter the Thermo Scientific Tandem Mass Tag Research Award Program (the “Program”), you must submit your Grant Application (the “Application”) at thermofisher.com/tmtgrant between February 1, 2019 – July 31, 2019. The Program is open only to academic, not-for-profit research institutions or commercial entities in an eligible jurisdiction whose representative has submitted a completed Application.

Three Grant Recipients will be selected to receive 2 quantities of TMT10plex Isobaric Label Reagent Set plus TMT11-131C Label Reagent, Cat No. A37725 (the “Award”) for one winner in each region (Singapore, Taiwan and SEA). Winners will be selected by a panel of three judges comprised of R&D professionals employed by the Sponsor or Proteome Sciences. Applications will be judged on the following criteria, each worth 33% of the total score: • Scientific merit: use of novel applications in quantitative proteomics to achieve their goals by using TMT tags and MS reagents • Significance of use of Thermo Scientific TMT tags and commercial MS reagents: how using TMT labeling reagents will further their research • Approach: how clear and well-developed is the proposed use of the TMT tags and MS reagents to address the questions at hand All qualifying applications will be anonymized prior to presentation to the judges.
