SCHOTT Nexterion takes over the Microarrays Business Division of Quantifoil

20-Oct-2003

Schott Nexterion AG, supplier of DNA microarray solutions and the youngest subsidiary of the Schott Group, took over the Microarrays Business Division of Quantifoil Micro Tools GmbH in Jena. The takeover incorporates the complete product range of the Microarrays Business Division, as well as the development team. The microarray product range of Quantifoil Micro Tools will now be supplied under the Schott Nexterion umbrella. The decisive factors for the Mainz company in undertaking the acquisition were the innovative product range and the convincing product quality. No changes to the product specification are, therefore, planned. Through the integration of the product range into its own product portfolio Schott Nexterion successfully strengthens its position as a supplier of high-quality microarray solutions. "We are proud that together with the attractive product range of Quantifoil Micro Tools we have also been able to take over a young, dynamic and innovative team. Our existing product portfolio is ideally supplemented by the merger", explained Dr. Dirk van den Broek, Management Board, Schott Nexterion AG. With the merger Schott Nexterion is consistently implementing its strategy for expanding its product portfolio. The company develops slides and coatings for DNA microarrays and already has a product on the market, Nexterion Slide A, that facilitates a higher sensitivity when undertaking microarray experiments. Schott Nexterion will continue to work single-mindedly at developing new products. At the moment several innovative products are being developed, for example a coated slide for protein applications and multiplex slides.
