The company offers a broad menu of<br \/>\ninfectious disease screening assays to support the FDA\u2019s 21 CFR 12711 donor eligibility determination<br \/>\ntesting requirements, specifically for eye, tissue, organ, stem cell and cord blood, as well as<br \/>\nreproductive tissues. VRL employs a total of 60 staff across its main facility in Denver CO, and its<br \/>\nsatellite laboratories in Boston, MA, Dallas, TX, and Atlanta, GA.<\/p>\n<p>The acquisition of VRL reinforces Eurofins\u2019 footprint in specialty clinical testing services and<br \/>\nconsolidates the Group\u2019s leadership in the transplantation testing market. Furthermore, VRL\u2019s<br \/>\nmicrobiology testing services expands Eurofins\u2019 testing portfolio and increases client penetration in the<br \/>\ntransplantation testing market. In return, VRL will have access to the Group\u2019s clients and competencies,<br \/>\nas well as its laboratory network infrastructure, which should support its further development.<\/p>\n<p>Comment from Dr. Gilles Martin, Eurofins CEO: \u201c<em>The acquisition of VRL is another demonstration of<br \/>\nour strategy of expanding and strengthening our network of competence centers.
