SCHOTT MINIFAB, a subsidiary of SCHOTT that develops and manufactures microfluidic devices for point-of-care and life sciences consumables, plans to acquire Applied Microarrays Inc. (AMI).
The deal is expected to close in early October.
Through this acquisition, SCHOTT MINIFAB said it will significantly expand its biosensor printing capabilities. “This is of particular importance as demand is growing for the manufacturing of point-of-care microarray consumables, especially in applications such as infectious disease detection,” the company said.
AMI will soon be moving to a larger facility in Phoenix. Its new location will increase SCHOTT’s manufacturing footprint in the United States.
