Varian Acquires Precision Detectors

Varian, Inc recently acquired the assets and products of Precision Detectors, (Bellingham, Massachusetts), which specialises in the manufacture of chromatography detectors and software for use with GPC and SEC systems. Polymer Laboratories, now a part of Varian, Inc, has used light scattering detectors from Precision Detectors for many years in its GPC instruments and this acquisition consolidates these long standing links, while bringing new technologies in the fields of protein analysis and characterisation to drive new product development.

"Precision Detectors has an excellent pedigree in innovative light scattering detection", says Trevor Havard, President of Precision Detectors. "Being part of the Varian family will allow us to build on
this heritage and expand the range of products and services we can offer to our customers."
