近日，2013 年度（第 51 届）R&D 100 大奖（R&D 100 Awards）的名单揭晓。新材料、生命科学、电子仪器、通讯、成像系统、消费类产品等多个领域的创新产品荣获这一奖项。我们熟悉的多家生物公司，如安捷伦、卡尔蔡司、默克密理博、奥林巴斯、赛默飞世尔和沃特世等，都榜上有名，其中赛默飞世尔有5个产品获奖，可谓大赢家。
R&D 100 大奖被誉为“科技奥斯卡”，是国际科技研发领域极为推崇的科技研发奖。来自美国各领域著名专家学者每年从全球上千件科技创新技术中，依照其科技突破性、创新独特性及应用实用性3项标准，评选出全球 100 项年度具重大创新意义的商品化技术。
每年，生命科学领域都有不少产品获奖，主要集中在实验室设备、分析仪器、成像、生命科学等方面。部分获奖产品如下：
Argonne National Laboratory：Rhodobacter 膜蛋白表达系统（生命科学）
美国阿贡国家实验室的生物学家 Philip Laible和Deborah Hanson开发出一种系统，它利用光合细菌（Rhodobacter）来创建更大量的膜蛋白，在压低生产成本的同时，也让膜蛋白的研究比以往更轻松。
安捷伦：Agilent 8800 三重串联四级杆ICP-MS（ICP-QQQ）（分析仪器）
此款新型 ICP-QQQ 系统的性能优于单四极杆 ICP-MS，进行 MS/MS 运行时在反应模式下具有可控且持续的干扰消除能力。ICP-QQQ 还能满足高端应用需求，具有单四极杆仪器所没有的灵活分析能力。
默克密理博：Direct Detect（分析仪器）
这是全球首台基于红外原理的生物分子微定量分析系统。只需2 μl样品及空白对照，就可以直接获得结果。无需样本制备，无需每次制作标准曲线，无需比色杯，也没有废液。Direct Detect™系统采用创新的膜技术，实现蛋白链中酰胺区的红外吸收光谱分析。
奥林巴斯：Olympus IX3 系列倒置显微镜（成像）
全新IX3系列倒置显微镜，吸取了广大用户科研的实战经验，融合了最新触屏技术、高敏度的滤片技术、柔性一体化整合技术、LED光源技术，巧妙地将活细胞置于物镜镜头之上，实现了实时连续观察生命微观结构功能的动态变化。
赛默飞世尔：iCAP Q（分析仪器）
iCAP Q系统标志着电感耦合等离子体质谱领域的一大创新。独特的离子聚焦技术大幅改善了信噪比。与传统系统相比，该产品可使实验室分析效率提高50%。对于进行常规与复杂样品分析的环境、金属、临床研究、食品安全、半导体和地球化学领域的实验室而言，iCAP Q无疑是最佳选择。
赛默飞世尔：Dionex ICS-4000毛细管离子色谱系统（实验室设备）
Thermo Scientific Dionex ICS-4000是全球首台已成功推向市场的综合高压毛细管离子色谱系统(HPIC™)，可广泛应用于环境、食品饮料、药品分析以及生物医药等各个领域。
