WEST SACRAMENTO, CA – Gemini Bioproducts, LLC (“Gemini”), a leading provider of cell culture solutions and a portfolio company of BelHealth Investment Partners, LLC (“BelHealth”), today announced the acquisition of ORFLO Technologies (“ORFLO”), an innovative life sciences instrumentation company.

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.”
