Illumina to acquire SomaLogic, accelerating its proteomics business and advancing the company's multiomics strategy
Combines highly complementary proteomics expertise with Illumina's industry-leading product innovation and global market reach Positions Illumina to achieve growth in a large, expanding market Illumina and SomaLogic have partnered in proteomics co-development since late 2021 SAN DIEGO, June 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ: ILMN) announced it has entered into a definitive agreement with Standard BioTools (NASDAQ: LAB) under which Illumina will acquire SomaLogic, a leader in data-driven proteomics technology, and other specified assets for $350 million in cash payable at closing, subject to customary adjustments, plus up to $75 million in near-term performance-based milestones and performance-based royalties. "The acquisition of SomaLogic will enhance Illumina's presence in the expanding proteomics market and advance the multiomics strategy we announced in 2024. This will strengthen the value of the NovaSeq X product today and unlock greater capabilities in the future," said Jacob Thaysen, chief executive officer of Illumina. "Illumina and SomaLogic have partnered closely for more than three years, and this combination increases our ability to serve our customers and accelerate our technology roadmap towards advanced biomarker discovery and disease profiling." This transaction builds on a co-development agreement Illumina established with SomaLogic in December 2021 to bring the SomaScan® Proteomics Assay onto Illumina's high-throughput next-generation-sequencing (NGS) platforms. Illumina Protein Prep is currently in use with nearly 40 early-access customers globally and will become available to all customers starting in the third quarter of 2025. Combining SomaLogic's proteomics technology with Illumina's scalable NGS ecosystem, DRAGEN™ software, and Illumina Connected Multiomics will accelerate the technology development roadmap for proteomics and reduce time and cost of proteomic research. "We are taking the scalability of NGS into proteomics," continued Thaysen. "Illumina will remain an open, accessible, and enabling NGS platform. The Company is committed to maintaining and supporting its existing proteomics partnerships as well as continuing to develop the sequencing ecosystem and supporting a wide variety of multiomics solutions." Scientific evidence* presented over the past year demonstrates the strength of SomaLogic's proteomics offerings in the areas of plexity, scalability, and technical reproducibility. In addition, researchers can generate significant and pivotal insights with high sensitivity, high throughput, and thousands of protein markers in a single experiment. SomaLogic has approximately 250 employees worldwide working in commercial, R&D, lab operations, manufacturing, and other roles. The company's Boulder, Colorado, facilities—including a CLIA- and CAP-certified lab, office, and manufacturing space—will be part of the purchase. SomaLogic has a global footprint serving customers. This transaction brings SomaLogic's aptamer-based affinity proteomics platform into Illumina's portfolio, enhancing Illumina's presence in a high-growth area within the proteomics market. The kitted NGS-based panels business will add a high-margin consumables revenue stream. Based on the projected closing date, Illumina expects this business to become profitable in 2027 on a non-GAAP operating income basis, and for non-GAAP operating margins to be in line with Illumina in 2028. Completion of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory clearance. The parties intend to make the necessary filing under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act in the United States in due course. Illumina expects to close the transaction in the first half of 2026. Until then, the companies will continue to operate as separate and independent entities. Goldman Sachs and Co. LLC is serving as financial advisor and Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP is serving as legal advisor to Illumina. Centerview Partners LLC is serving as financial advisor to Standard BioTools, and Freshfields LLP and Richards, Layton & Finger P.C. are serving as its legal counsel. UBS Investment Bank is serving as financial advisor to the Special Committee of the Standard BioTools Board of Directors.

Beyond Metros: City Vitality Index Captures India's Evolving Urban Economic Landscape
PRNewswire Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 25: Dun & Bradstreet, a global leader in business decisioning data and analytics, has released its City Vitality Index - Q2 2025, offering a near real-time, satellite-data-based assessment of the economic vibrancy of India's urban areas. The Index leverages NASA's Black Marble dataset to measure economic activity across more than 700 Indian districts, providing a first-of-its-kind view into microeconomic trends through earth observation technology. "The latest edition of the City Vitality Index shows a remarkable nationwide uptick in economic activity, with key drivers including infrastructure expansion, tourism, and major cultural gatherings," said Dr. Arun Singh, Global Chief Economist, Dun & Bradstreet. "The 2025 Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj had an outsized economic footprint -- catalyzing growth across multiple cities and sectors. For instance, Prayagraj itself jumped 40 positions in the rankings in the CVI, driven by unprecedented footfall and corresponding spikes in tourism, hospitality, logistics, and local commerce. Nearby cities like Varanasi, Kanpur, and Lucknow also saw secondary growth effects, with improved infrastructure utilization, hotel occupancy, and transport linkages. Event-related investments in sanitation, public transport, and digital infrastructure had spillover effects on construction and local employment across the region. The CVI uncovers new growth centers, with tier-2 and tier-3 cities such as Prayagraj and Kasganj now ranking in the top 25 emerging cities, highlighting the decentralization of India's growth narrative." Maha Kumbh Mela: A Historic Economic Catalyst The 2025 Maha Kumbh Mela Prayagraj witnessed extraordinary attendance of over 660 million people, making it the largest human congregation in recorded history. To put this in perspective, the footfall exceeded the combined population of all 27 European Union countries. This massive influx of pilgrims sparked unprecedented economic activity in Prayagraj and surrounding districts--impacting sectors such as hospitality, transportation, retail, and infrastructure. * Prayagraj moved up 38 positions to 1stposition in CVI ranking, driven by event-induced economic stimulus. * 44% of the top 25 cities this quarter are from Uttar Pradesh, a state that saw amplified economic signals due to Kumbh-related developments and investments. Highlights of the City Vitality Index - Q2 2025: * Ahmedabad claimed the 1strank among metros, rising four positions this quarter. Mumbai slipped to 5th, while Bengaluru, Chennai, and Delhi maintained their ranks, reflectingstableandconsistentperformance. * Sonipat has demonstrated steady growth in CVI score since 2020, reaching an all-time high in current quarter. The expansion of the Delhi Metro's Yellow Line into Sonipat has fueled real estate and commercial development. * Kasganj and Kishanganj rose 20+ positions each due to enhanced connectivity from new highway and roadway construction, boosting access to metro cities. * Baramulla continued its upward trajectory, breaking into the top 50 cities, compared to the top 150. Sustained growth is attributed to railway projects and regional development programs. * Badgam and Bhavnagar saw dramatic rises from the top 300 to the top 100, fueled by greenfield and brownfield infrastructure investments. * Sixteen districts, including Agra, Etah, Anand, and Bhavnagar, have consistently moved up in CVI rankings over the last five quarters. Agra and Etah lead with an eight-quarter streak of improvement, reflecting strong and sustained growth. * Six districts have seen a steady decline in rankings for five or more quarters, with Nicobar falling for seven straight quarters, indicating areas needing focused policy support. City Vitality Index - A Pulse on India's Urban Economy "The CVI's unique integration of satellite-derived insights with macroeconomic indicators enables policymakers and investors to detect emerging hotspots and assess regional economic resilience," Dr. Singh added. "With a correlation of over 80% with nominal GDP, and ~99% in highly urbanized regions, the CVI is a powerful decision-support tool for India's growth story." As India's urban landscape evolves, the City Vitality Index offers a high-resolution map of economic dynamism--shedding light on both traditional growth engines and unexpected disruptors, like cultural events and connectivity infrastructure.
