Gemini Bioproducts, LLC, a provider of cell culture solutions and a portfolio company of BelHealth Investment Partners, LLC, has acquired ORFLO Technologies, an innovative life sciences instrumentation company.

Founded in 2003 by Ted Ayliffe, Ph.D., ORFLO is a supplier of cell analysis instruments including flow cytometers and cell counters, as well as their associated consumables and reagents. ORFLO’s two flagship products are the Moxi Z, a cell counter, and the Moxi Go, a benchtop flow cytometer. ORFLO’s Moxi Go aims to provide an informative window into cell analysis by directly measuring fluorescence, cell count, and cell volume simultaneously.

Gemini chief executive officer Dale Gordon said, “ORFLO is a highly complementary acquisition for Gemini. Moxi Go and Moxi Z products will greatly enhance our offerings in the cell and gene therapy markets, providing customers real-time insights into their cells to help accelerate the pace in which they bring transformational therapies to patients. The acquisition of ORFLO demonstrates our commitment to building a world class cell processing and monitoring solution. We expect to invest additional resources into R&D and leverage our excellent customer support team for the ORFLO instruments.”

Ted Ayliffe said, “We are thrilled to join the Gemini team. After almost two decades of developing our proprietary technology, we are excited about leveraging Gemini’s dedicated commercial organization with a shared vision of further developing this technology to help reach our full commercial potential.”
