Description: PerkinElmer Inc., was founded in 1947. It is headquartered in Waltham, MA. PerkinElmer provides technology, services and solutions to the diagnostics, academic research, environmental monitoring and safety and security markets. The company had two reportable operating segments - life and analytical sciences and optoelectronics, but as of the 2009 fiscal year, PerkinElmer is changing these to human health and environmental health, placing its products into these new categories. For bio-discovery solutions, PerkinElmer offers a wide range of systems comprising instrumentation, software, consumables and reagents, supporting biochemical and cell based assays. For analytical sciences solutions, the company offers analytical tools employing technologies such as molecular and atomic spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma, gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, and thermal analysis. Brand names include AlphaLISA, AlphaScreen, Wallac, Packard, NEN and OneSource. The Optoelectronics segment provides a broad range of medical imaging, optical sensor and specialty lighting components used in medical, consumer products, and other specialty end markets. Brand names include Cermax, VQ, Heimann, Reticon and SmartBlue. In December, 2008, PerkinsElmer acquired Arnel, Inc., a provider of custom engineered solutions for gas chromatography applications in the petrochemical, food and beverage, and industrial hygiene markets and in 2009, the company acquired Opto Technology, Inc., a supplier of light-emitting diode based lighting components and subsystems.Manufacturing: Scientific testing and electronics.
