Acquisitions. On August 1, 2018, we acquired 100 percent of the stock of privately-held ProZyme, Inc. ("ProZyme"), a leading provider of glycan analysis reagents, kits and standards, for cash. The financial results of ProZyme will be included within our financial results from the date of the close.

On August 17, 2018, we acquired certain assets from Young In Scientific Co. Ltd., a leading distributor of analytical and scientific instruments in South Korea, for cash.  The financial results of the business related to the acquired assets will be included within our financial results from the date of the close.

In total, the cash payment for both these acquisitions was approximately $80 million. Due to the timing of the completion of the acquisitions, our valuations for the tangible and intangible assets are not yet complete.
