Beckman Coulter to Acquire Lumigen

From Bloomberg News

Beckman Coulter Inc. said it would buy Lumigen Inc., a maker of chemicals used in diagnostics and scientific research, for $185 million in cash.

The transaction is expected to have no effect on Beckman Coulter’s financial results this year and to add at least 2 cents a share to earnings next year, the Fullerton company said.

The laboratory equipment maker accounted for 40% of Southfield, Mich.-based Lumigen’s $33 million in revenue last year, the companies said.
