Sigma-Aldrich expands analytical chemistry area

Sigma-Aldrich has acquired the assets of Resource Technology Corporation of Laramie, Wyoming, a company in analytical standards and certified reference materials.

The acquisition of RTC's business complements the recently completed acquisition of Cerilliant Corporation, and further expands and strengthens Sigma-Aldrich's analytical chemistry offerings, a key goal in assisting the company in delivering on its strategic sales growth plans.

The RTC products also complement the Supelco and Fluka brand analytical reagents, standards and separation consumables with the addition of its core expertise in design, development, characterisation and packaging of analytical standards, matrix standards, certified reference materials and proficiency testing.

With this acquisition, Sigma-Aldrich now serves a wide range of applications, including the fast-growing environmental and pharmaceutical sectors.
