(Waltham, MA, USA; www.thermofisher.com)签署了一份最终协议,将花费4.788亿美元收购B.R.A.H.M.S. AG (Hennigsdorf, Germany; www.brahms.de)公司。B.R.A.H.M.S.将被合并进入Thermo Fisher分析技术部门的专业诊断业务。交易有待监管批准,预计于2009年9月底完成。

B.R.A.H.M.S.提供脓毒病、心血管疾病、肺部疾病、重症监护治疗以及产前筛查方面生物标记物的专业体外诊断(IVD)检验。他们还提供实验室和护理点使用的甲状腺、产前、自体免疫以及肿瘤筛查方面的诊断检验和仪器设备。公司最有名的产品是Procalcitonin(PCT),这是一种用于脓血症诊断和治疗的生物标记物,脓血症是指病人的血液被细菌所感染的一种疾病。

在欧洲,PCT检验已经成为脓血症早期诊断的黄金标准,早期诊断对于病人能否存活,以及接下来的治疗监测都是至为关键的。欧洲检验模式将在美国使用,在美国每年有大约75万人患上脓血症,其中三分之一会死亡。

Thermo Fisher Scientific 总裁兼CEO Marijn E. Dekkers说,"B.R.A.H.M.S.检测方法和仪器设备对于我们目前所有的免疫测定分析方法是很好的补充,他们很强的R&D系统为将新的专利诊断检验商业化提供了可能。另外公司还为我们提供了欧洲重要的试剂生产模式,同时使我们更加深入地接触美国的客户,销售最新的新型B.R.A.H.M.S.产品,比如PCT和其他目前还在开发的产品。这次收购进一步巩固了我们在所有专业诊断市场所占据的领导地位"。

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.为医院,临床诊断实验室,制药公司,生物技术公司,大学,研究机构和政府机构,以及环境和工业过程控制机构提供产品和服务。公司有两个品牌,Thermo Scientific和Fisher Scientific。Thermo Scientific为客户提供全套高端分析仪器以及实验室设备,软件,服务,耗材和试剂,使实验室工作流程方案自成一体。Fisher Scientific提供全套组合的实验室设备,化学品,耗材和服务,用于医疗保健,科学研究,安全以及教育方面。
