Hardy Diagnostics announced the acquisition of Wichita Falls, Tex.-based GG&B Company, maker of automated microscope slide stainers for laboratory use.

“GG&B has been an industry leader in the development and manufacture of clinical laboratory equipment since it was founded in 1974,” Hardy Diagnostics president Jay Hardy said in a statement. “With the recent launch of the innovative QuickSlide GramPro 80, Hardy Diagnostics is proud to be on the leading edge of automated slide stainer technology.” The QuickSlide GramPro 80 is capable of gram staining up to 80 slides per hour, is hands-free, and can fit on a lab countertop.

Hardy Diagnostics will rebrand the company as QuickSlide, a division of Hardy Diagnostics. Daniel Crawford, a manager at Hardy Diagnostics, will lead the new division. Jeff Gibbs, a co-inventor of the QuickSlide instruments, will be retained by Hardy Diagnostics as director of manufacturing.
