A California bioscience company has acquired Branford’s IsoPlexis in an all-stock transaction valued at $57.8 million.
Berkeley Lights, based in Emeryville, Calif., said it intends to combine the two companies’ similar cell biology technologies, customer bases and commercial channels to form a new firm, to be called PhenomeX.
PhenomeX will provide live cell biology research tools and new perspectives on the phenome, a cell’s combination of genetic traits and environmental factors.
