Product Update Thermo Fisher Diagnostics Ltd Oxoid Microbiology Products (ICN 3517)

Change:

• The supplier Thermo Fisher Diagnostics Ltd has informed us of a discontinuation of its Oxoid microbiology products.
• There are 7 products affected.
• Thermo Fisher Diagnostics has sold the microbiology business to Oxoid Ltd, which is not awarded to the framework.
• Therefore, we are unable to facilitate procurements within this product range going forward.
• Customers will still be able to buy the products directly from the supplier.

Impact:

• The affected products are no longer available to order and will be delisted from our online catalogue on 20 October 2026.
• Unfortunately, there are no identified potential alternative products available to order through our online catalogue. We are currently trying to source alternative products and will update the ICN once these are available.
