With the completion of this acquisition, PerkinElmer is expected to gain significant insight and intellectual property in the field of mass spectrometry (MS) and ion source technology.
PerkinElmer will integrate Analytica’s current manufacturing operations into its Shelton, Connecticut facility, while utilizing Analytica’s existing Branford facility for R&D projects. Craig Whitehouse will become an employee of PerkinElmer and oversee PerkinElmer’s MS R&D operations.
Richard Begley, president of analytical sciences at PerkinElmer, said: “The acquisition of Analytica will allow us to offer our customers access to critical technologies such as time-of-flight and quadrupole mass spectrometers and new ion sources that provide more complete information as well as better throughput.”
