Stilla Technologies, a French developer of digital PCR systems, has announced a strategic distribution partnership with Avantor, headquartered in Radnor, Pennsylvania, for the US market. The financial details of the agreement were not disclosed. As per the deal, Avantor's life science specialists will distribute Stilla's dPCR products to researchers and clinicians across the US. Kerri McWeeny, Stilla's general manager for North America, expressed confidence in achieving their biopharma, applied testing, and academia objectives with Avantor's support.
Stilla, based in Paris with a presence in Boston, recently introduced the Nio+, a seven-color dPCR instrument, and secured a $26.5 million Series C financing round to bolster its marketing and sales efforts and expedite the commercialization of its system.
Avantor, known for its acquisitions of Puritan Products and VWR in 2017, operates an innovation center in Bridgewater, New Jersey, where it manufactures cell and gene therapy reagents. The company had previously formed a distribution agreement with Oxford Nanopore Technologies in 2021.
