Going With the Flow
Executive Summary
In the in vitro diagnostics world, flow cytometry is a highly specialized, labor intensive niche, aimed at sophisticated analysis of intact whole cells. Dako Cytomation was formed in July to try to make inroads into this field, which some see as an area poised for growth. The merger of Dako and Cytomation, however, has infuriated Dako's former partner, Partec, a small German company focused on industrial applications of flow. Partec, however, is coming up with a new strategy for expanding its limited presence in human healthcare.
