Thermo Fisher Scientific has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Ahura Scientific for $145 million plus an additional payment based on achieving certain 2010 financial targets.

It has 120 employees and 2009 sales of $45 million. Thermo says the purchase will complement its own line of field-deployed X-ray fluorescence analyzers.
