In December 2012, we sold a building for $6.4 million in our Clinical Diagnostics segment that was associated with a 1999 acquisition. We recognized a gain on the sale of $4.3 million and a portion of the goodwill recorded in a 1999 acquisition was written off of $1.0 million. In conjunction with the purchase of certain assets from Propel Labs, Inc. in our Life Science segment in August 2012, we recorded $17.4 million of goodwill and $32.1 million of definite-lived intangible assets: $27.3 million of developed product technology, $4.7 million of covenants not to compete and $0.1 million of other intangible assets. In conjunction with the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of DiaMed Benelux in our Clinical Diagnostics segment in July 2012, we recorded $3.0 million of goodwill and $4.9 million of definite-lived intangible assets: $3.8 million of customer relationships/lists and $1.1 million of tradenames. In conjunction with the acquisition of certain assets from a raw material supplier in our Clinical Diagnostics segment in January 2012, we recorded $1.1 million of goodwill and $5.1 million of definite-lived intangible assets considered developed product technology. As part of the acquisition of QuantaLife in our Life Science segment in October 2011, we recorded $105.5 million of goodwill and $94.7 million of definite-lived intangible assets considered know how. Other than goodwill, we have no significant intangible assets with indefinite lives.
