Agilent Technologies has received clearance from the European Commission to acquire fellow scientific instrument maker Varian, subject to the sale of four businesses with combined annual sales of less than $100 million. The two firms must now look for buyers for Varian’s lab gas chromatography, triple quadrupole gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, and plasma mass spectrometry businesses, as well as Agilent’s micro gas chromatography business. Agilent says it is still awaiting U.S. government clearances and hopes to complete the $1.5 billion deal, made in July 2009, in early 2010.
