Affinity BioReagents reported $6 million in revenues during 2007.
Thermo Fisher Scientific reports the acquisition of Affinity BioReagents to complement its protein research efforts. The company will be integrated into Thermo Fisher’s analytical technologies segment.
With over 35,000 reagents, Affinity BioReagents reportedly had revenues of approximately $6 million in 2007. The firm’s reagents are mostly monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies. The company also provides recombinant proteins and custom antibody-production services.
“This acquisition enhances our extensive antibody portfolio, which will drive growth as we combine these reagents with our current proteomics offerings to create end-to-end solutions for widely used protein-research applications,” says Marijn E. Dekkers, president and CEO of Thermo Fisher Scientific. These applications include Western blotting, ELISA, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and mass spectroscopy.
