Oh Frog.... a bit inaccurate in you comment.
"-Beckman Coulter is an instrument manufacturer."
Obviously a statement meant to lead a person to an inaccurate conclusion. Let's put it in the correct description of Beckman Coulter.
Beckman Coulter, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of instrument systems, chemistries and supplies that simplify and automate laboratory processes. At the forefront of medical discovery, in clinical research and through the often life-saving process of clinical diagnostics, Beckman Coulter's 200,000 installed systems provide essential biomedical intelligence to enhance health care around the world. The company, based in Fullerton, California, reported 2002 annual sales of $2.06 billion with 62 percent of this amount generated by recurring revenue from supplies, test kits and services. For more information, see the company's web site at www.beckmancoulter.com.
Now here is a FACT you intentionly left out in order to mislead with your above quoted statement.
Hmmmm an agenda perhaps!
