IDT Buys VH Bio’s Oligo Business

Growth in United Kingdom integral to IDT’s European expansion

20-Mar-2009 - United Kingdom

Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) has purchased the oligo business of VH Bio Ltd (Gateshead, UK). IDT will supply VH Bio’s customers from IDT’s facility in Leuven, Belgium, while building on the local customer service. As a result, current VH Bio oligo customers will have access to a much broader range of products, with 100% QC-checked sequences and next-day delivery, according to the company. VH Bio will continue to distribute its full range of other products for immunologists and molecular biologists.

IDT and VH Bio have also announced an agreement to work together to grow IDT’s oligonucleotide business in the UK. The two companies will combine efforts to introduce IDT’s market-leading products to scientists throughout the country.

IDT officially opened its European synthesis facility in Leuven in September 2008, and now has branches in both the UK and Germany.
