WELLESLEY, Mass., Dec. 1, 2006 -- Health sciences company PerkinElmer Inc. today announced it is acquiring Evotec Technologies GmbH in a cash transaction valued at approximately $30 million.

Based in Hamburg, Germany, Evotec Technologies, a subsidiary of Evotec AG, provides high performance screening instrumentation and analysis software for cellular screening, a critical tool for drug discovery, PerkinElmer said.

“Our customers today require unique, flexible tools and platforms that produce better quality and biologically relevant data for mapping cellular events to new discoveries,” said Gregory L. Summe, PerkinElmer chairman and CEO.

Evotec Technologies’ Opera HCS platform for high-content analysis combines confocal microscopy with the throughput required for primary and secondary screening. The company's product line also includes high-content cellular analysis and screening systems; cell manipulation and sorting systems; image capture and cellular analysis software; and integrated ultrahigh throughput screening platforms.

The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2007, PerkinElmer said. For more information, visit: www.perkinelmer.com

Glossary
nano
An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
photonics
The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
