Dear reader,

 

first of all a Happy New Year to everybody out there! All the best for your endeavours in 2010 from everybody at [iito] Business Intelligence.


The new year starts like the old year with acquisitions by the "Usual suspects"... last week Qiagen and Life Technologies "did it again" (Hello Kevin, they "did it again"!).

It could have been Siemens, Thermo Fisher, Hologic, Philips are any other of the "usual suspects" and the trend for consolidation to reach critical mass in key areas of tomorrow’s markets in molecular diagnostics and research technologies will surely continue.


This newsletter will take a look at more than 500 deals and events that formed today’s Life Technologies.


But during the last month one "newcomer" to the battle for key positions in the life sciences research tools market has turned up and has executed a surprisingly broad and well structured string of acquisitions: Danaher.

Probably best known so far for its Leica Microsystems business in the life sciences area the broad technology concern has repositioned itself to become a serious player in the life science research tools area in the years to come. We will take one [gs]-click to see this quite clear within seconds.
