Sybron Acquires Another Company, Another Product Line
Sun International supplies consumables for high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC) and high throughput screening (HTS) applications. In addition to autosampler vials, inserts, and closures, Sun recently introduced their Plate and Micromat product line for high throughput screening in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical markets.
Versi-Dry is an absorbent pad used in research and industrial laboratories to absorb and contain chemicals and other spillage occurring in the laboratory. The product line had sales revenues of approximately $3 million, a number that Sybron expects to expand as a result of SLP's marketing leverage and relationship with distributors of such products.
Since June 1999, Sybron has been busy forging a slew of relationships, in the process acquiring eight lab-based businesses. To read more, see:
