Beckman Coulter takes over Olympus

This is a story that I didn’t notice when it happened.  Beckman Coulter has bought Olympus Diagnostics.  Further coverage can be found here, here, here and from Beckman Coulter here.  Seems the story broke in Feburary.  Shows that my finger isn’t on the pulse!!!

Olympus

This is the main site for the diagnostics division of Olympus.  This site does cover all of their products so searches can come up with some interesting surprises.

I found this page to be very helpfull, as it lists all of thier tests and provides links to pdf documents about each test.

Couldn’t find more clinical information, though this might be due to Olympus not having a drug division in the company like Bayer/Roche/Abbott
