IVGN to Acquire ABI

Posted by Jim H on June 12, 2008

I just read a press release stating Invitrogen is purchasing ABI for $6.7 billion US dollars (that’s like $3 Billion Canadian dollars).

The press release talks about the instrument side of the ABI business, but I know ABI also make Primers in California.  I wonder if this will impact the group working here in Frederick in the sweat shop above the Chemical waste depot in the Distribution Center?
