Bruker has purchased Prairie Technologies, a Middleton, Wis.-based supplier of fluorescence microscopy products. Bruker will operate the 17-year-old business as a unit within its Nano Surfaces division, which provides atomic force microscopy systems. The acquisition allows Bruker to enter the fluorescence microscopy market, which consists of multipoint scanning confocal, single-photon confocal, and multiphoton products. Bruker pegs the market at $150 million per year. Prairie had sales of about $11 million last year and employs about 30 people.
