Acquisition strengthens Bruker’s portfolio of high-performance PET molecular imaging solutions
Bruker today announced that it has acquired PMOD Technologies LLC, a highly respected provider of research-use-only software for preclinical and molecular imaging, with a focus on molecular quantification and pharmacokinetic modeling. The PMOD software is widely used for the analysis of positron emission tomography (PET) studies in neurology, cardiology and oncology, both for preclinical and human molecular imaging research. Founded in 2003 as a University Hospital Zurich spin-off, PMOD Technologies is based in Zurich and has an innovative development team in Warsaw, Poland. The acquisition confirms Bruker’s commitment to provide intuitive end-to-end solutions that make image analysis and quantitative knowledge extraction in nuclear molecular imaging research more productive and precise.
Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed, and PMOD continues to be managed by its senior management team. The PMOD software continues to remain vendor-neutral and platform-independent, and PMOD’s outstanding customer support will be maintained.
PMOD extends Bruker’s portfolio of imaging software for clinical research and further enhances Bruker’s expertise in nuclear molecular imaging. The portfolio now encompasses two leading-edge imaging research software packages used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear molecular imaging (NMI) translational research: ParaVision® 360 and PMOD.
