Labcyte and Deerac Fluidics Combine Forces to Enhance Low Volume Liquid Handling
Advertisement
Labcyte Inc. and Allegro Technologies Limited, which conducts business as Deerac Fluidics, announced that they have reached agreement on the terms for combination of the two companies. Completion of the transaction requires shareholder approval and is expected within one month.
Although products from both Labcyte and Deerac address the growing market of low-volume liquid handling, each company utilizes a unique technology and they operate in different volume ranges. Products from Labcyte and Deerac are used for different applications. They may also be used together when one component of an assay is added in the low nanoliter range and others are added in larger amounts. The Deerac products are based on a patented feed-back controlled system which is rapid, parallel and most effective in the 50 nanoliter to 20 microliter range. This technology was conceived at Trinity College Dublin, and its development was supported by grants from Enterprise Ireland. The Labcyte Echo ® liquid handlers use acoustic energy to transfer 2.5 nanoliter droplets and are most useful in the 2.5 to 200 nanoliter range.
