$13B buy eyed for Thermo

Thermo Fisher Scientific is close to buying Life Technologies Corp, a genetic testing equipment maker, for nearly $13 billion, reported Reuters last night.

Reuters reported that the sale price per share would be close to $75, putting Life Technologies' value at just about $13 billion. The sale could wrap up as early as today, according to the report. The sale, if successful, would mark Waltham-based Thermo Fisher's largest acquisition since the $12.8 billion merger in 2006 of Thermo Electron and Fisher Scientific International.
