Apogent Technologies

Apogent Technologies was a leading developer and manufacturer of value-added laboratory products for the healthcare and life science markets. The company operated through two primary segments: Laboratory Products and Clinical Diagnostics, offering a wide range of plasticware, glassware, and liquid handling systems. Its portfolio included well-known brands such as Nalgene, Nunc, and Barnstead, which provided essential tools for research, drug discovery, and clinical testing. In 2004, Apogent was acquired by Fisher Scientific International in a deal valued at approximately $3.7 billion, significantly expanding Fisher's laboratory equipment offerings. Today, its legacy products continue to be a core part of the Thermo Fisher Scientific portfolio.
