US-based scientific instruments manufacturer PerkinElmer has completed the purchase of all outstanding shares in German Euroimmun Medical Laboratory Diagnostics for approximately $1.3bn.

The deal strengthens PerkinElmer’s offering in autoimmune and allergy diagnostics sector, and bolsters its presence in growing markets such as China to offer new infectious disease capabilities.

In addition, PerkinElmer’s footprint in the reproductive health segment of the US will facilitate the firm to drive Euroimmun’s solutions into this established channel.

The firms originally reached a definitive agreement for the acquisition in June this year.

“The firm has seen an average revenue growth of 19% over the past five years and is estimated to generate up to $310m this year.”

PerkinElmer chairman and CEO Robert Friel said earlier: “With the acquisition of Euroimmun and its talented team of professionals, we are able to leverage our combined advanced detection, imaging and assay development capabilities, along with our strong collective market positions and synergistic commercial activities, to deliver better and more complete solutions to our customers around the world.”
