Blood Brothers No More: Hologic Unloads Blood-Screening Business To Partner Grifols

Hologic's partner in the blood-screening business, Grifols SA, will buy-out Hologic's share for $1.85bn. Grifols already owns all the customer-facing parts of the business; it will now take on research, development and manufacture of assays and instruments based on nucleic acid testing for transfusion and transplantation screening.
