WALTHAM, Mass., Oct. 15, 2025 -- We are proud to announce that Advanced Instruments and Nova Biomedical are now officially doing business under a single, unified brand. This is a transformative moment in our journey to deliver greater value to customers across the biopharmaceutical and clinical markets. Starting today we will be also unveiling a refreshed brand identity and logo across the merged organization that reflects our forward-looking vision and deep commitment to innovation.

This strategic merger brings together two industry leaders with complementary strengths in analytical instrumentation, R&D, and global customer support. By combining our technologies and expertise, we are better positioned to support customer workflows, accelerate biopharmaceutical development, and improve patient care worldwide.

"Our shared values—innovation, customer focus, and dedication to quality—are the foundation of this merger," said Byron Selman, President & CEO of Nova Biomedical. "Operating under the Nova Biomedical name allows us to amplify our global presence and continue delivering gold-standard solutions to our customers."

While the Advanced Instruments name will evolve into a product portfolio brand for our osmolality testing solutions, it will remain a symbol of excellence within the Nova Biomedical umbrella. Customers will begin to see the Nova Biomedical name and new visual identity reflected across our communications, digital assets, and products starting mid-October. This branding update is designed to signal our investment in the future and our commitment to staying at the forefront of life science innovation.

Importantly, this is a branding change only. Legal entities, operational processes, and customer interactions remain unchanged. Customers should continue working with their existing sales and service contacts and process orders and inquiries as usual.

We are excited about the opportunities this merger creates and remain committed to keeping our partners informed throughout the integration process.
