Thermo Fisher Scientific acquires laboratory water purification system provider
Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced that it has completed the acquisition of TKA Wasseraufbereitungssysteme GmbH, a European provider of laboratory water purification systems. Based in Niederelbert, Germany, TKA has nearly 60 employees and had 2009 full year revenue of AU$14 million.
TKA’s laboratory water purification systems include electrodeionisation (EDI), reverse osmosis (RO) and ultrafiltration technologies. With a wide range of laboratory water purification options, users can match the purity level of water to their specific requirements, increasing the reliability of results across multiple applications and improving laboratory efficiency.
