Sartorius AG, through unit Sartorius Stedim Biotech SA, acquired Swedish data analytics software company MKS Instruments AB, or Umetrics, from MKS Instruments Group for $72.5 million.

Umetrics, which has been cooperating with Sartorius for about five years, plans to generate full-year sales revenue of about $15 million in 2017, along with a "significant" double-digit operating profit margin.

Germany-based Sartorius also completed its previously announced acquisition of Ann Arbor, Mich.-based life science tools company Essen BioScience Inc. after gaining antitrust clearance.

Through the Essen acquisition, the Sartorius lab products and services division significantly expands its portfolio in bioanalytics.
