Thermo Biopolymer

Thermo Biopolymer (also known as Thermo Biopolymers) is a specialized business unit of Thermo Fisher Scientific based in Ulm, Germany. Originally founded as Interactiva Biotechnologie GmbH in 1996, the company was acquired by Thermo BioAnalysis (a spin-out of Thermo Electron) in 1999 and subsequently integrated into the Thermo Fisher Scientific portfolio. The company is a leading provider of custom biopolymer synthesis services, specializing in synthetic peptides, oligonucleotides, and stable isotope-labeled (SIL) proteotypic peptides. Its products are essential tools for quantitative proteomics, biomarker discovery, and metabolic research, serving major pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions worldwide. The Ulm facility serves as a center of excellence for peptide chemistry and custom biopolymer production within Thermo Fisher Scientific's Biosciences division. The company's expertise in stable isotope labeling has made it a preferred partner for researchers developing mass spectrometry-based assays for protein quantification.
