Manchester-based APIS Assay Technologies has confirmed that it has acquired Beogenomics, a New York-based start-up company.

Joachim Schorr, CEO of APIS, said: "We are delighted to announce our acquisition of Beogenomics, which offers strong operational and cultural fits. We look forward to welcoming the talented team and working together to expand our BIOX capacity internally, and build out a new, discrete, and externally-facing service line.
