Agilent Technologies Broadens Microscopy Portfolio for Life Sciences with Acquisition of TILL Photonics

SANTA CLARA, CA | Posted on April 1st, 2008

Agilent announced the agreement to acquire TILL Photonics on March 3, 2008, at Pittcon.

TILL Photonics' innovative, optical microscopes are used in fundamental research, applied science and diagnostics. The acquisition will complement Agilent's atomic force microscope platform and is consistent with Agilent's strategy of providing customers with comprehensive workflow solutions.

Headquartered in Munich, Germany, the company was founded in 1993 by Dr. Rainer Uhl, professor at the BioImaging Center of the University of Munich. TILL Photonics employees have now joined Agilent. More information about TILL Photonics is available at www.till-photonics.com.

TILL Photonics joins the recently formed Materials Science Solutions Unit (MSSU) within Agilent's Life Science and Chemical Analysis business. MSSU's focus is to provide microscopy, spectroscopy and particle analysis solutions for the materials testing, life sciences and chemical analysis markets, as well as to advance nanotechnology.
