News of Danaher increased M&A activities in Life Sciences and Diagnostics have increased in recent weeks and the possibility to announce , at least one take over, is well on the table before year end. The Danaher strategy of expanding the scientific platform is a necessity to dilute the slow changing Beckman Coulter culture and introduce new generation of executives from a more focused group of entities.

"and milk the Diagnostics
"and milk the Diagnostics side.until it is dead."
From my LS perspective I see it in reverse. BCI's Life Sciences Division (minus centrification and PC) has been folding since 2003.
Actually they placed Flow Cytometry in Life Sciences so that LF had some opportunity for growth. All of the other segments are operating near or at a loss. They then proceeded to screw up Flow. No one left there who really understand the business.

Next acquisition is going to be Uhal. And some professional movers
I don't think that they are
I don't think that they are happy at all. Proof of that is that they are going to let go the dbs manager from Miami. Not because they are doing so well, but because they can't do anything right.

The way they have driven BEC into the ground, they will never get their money back from their investment!

What you dont realize is Danaher is getting exactly what they wanted. They tried to buy BCI's Life Sciences Division years ago but BCI wouldn't sell it. This time around they realized they had to buy it all so hey can invest on the Life Sciences where the profit margins are high and milk the Diagnostics side.until it is dead.

What happens to those R&D guys after DxN launch?
They need to launch their DxN
They need to launch their DxN molecular system in order to generate some revenue as this project is conitnuing to consume tons of R&D money. Last I heard, they were launching in Europe 1st quarter. Will they meet their targeted launch timeframe?
The promise of somewhat of a random access molecular system sounds great....whether or not they can deliver is another issue.
Basically what we can see is
Basically what we can see is that DHR is now into ATM machines. Getting their cash out.
