Why did SurModics acquire BioFX?
BioFX’s product line and customer base complement SurModics’ other product offerings within the In Vitro Technologies business unit. The acquisition of BioFX allows SurModics to broaden its product and technology offerings in the in vitro Diagnostics market. SurModics believes that the addition of BioFX’s highly regarded product line and technical expertise will solidify its position as a leading supplier of components to the immunoDiagnostics market. BioFX has a well deserved reputation for providing high performance, high quality substrates. BioFX is particularly strong in colorimetric substrates, where they continue to displace competitive technologies regularly. In addition, they have a growing presence in chemiluminescent substrates, which is a newer segment of the market.
