Beckman Coulter (Fullerton, CA, USA) has formed Beckman Coulter Genomics (Beverly, MA, USA), combining the operations of its Agencourt Bioscience business with Cogenics, a firm it recently purchased.

Beckman Coulter Genomics will offer scientists genomic service resources with expanded global capabilities. It will provide a variety of services including sequencing, sample preparation, genotyping, gene expression, biologic efficiency and safety testing, as well as support for regulatory compliance including Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA). In addition, it will offer nucleic acid purification products, thus serving both the life-science and pharmaceutical industries.

Richard Creager, Beckman Coulter group vice president of immunoassay, molecular diagnostics, and genomic services, stated, "Through the creation of Beckman Coulter Genomics, we have successfully brought together the industry's leading genomic service providers to offer our customers the highest-quality data and analysis."

Beckman Coulter, Inc., develops, manufactures, and markets products that simplify, automate, and develop complex biomedical tests.
