Singapore: PerkinElmer has announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Perten Instruments Group AB. Perten is a leading global supplier of advanced analytical instruments for quality control of food, grain, flour and feed.

He added, "PerkinElmer will now be firmly positioned to help customers address rigorous regulations for food quality control, import/export product testing, and the need to preserve the integrity of global supply chains."
