NEW YORK, USA/LONDON, UK: Health-technology conglomerate PerkinElmer has finalised its acquisition of Dexela, a UK-based start-up specialising in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) X-ray detection technology. The take-over is intended to expand the US company’s medical imaging portfolio to new areas, such as cardiology and dental CT.

Both companies started negotiations in 2009, aftern Dexela launched their first family of CMOS detectors for use in dentistry and other medical applications. The company, which was part of the Oxford Technology 4 VCT (OT4) investment fund based in Oxford since 2006, also manufactures and distributes screening work stations and 3-D reconstruction software.

OT4 has reported that it has received £581,486 (US$940,077) from its original equity investment of £300,000 (US$523,194) in Dexela, with further payments due depending on future sales. Other financial details were not disclosed.

PerkinElmer shares climbed by 0.5 points last week.
