Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block] | ACQUISITIONS In October 2019, we acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of a foreign distributor for approximately $4.2 million, which included cash payments at closing, net of closing cash, of $3.6 million, and $0.6 million in contingent consideration potentially payable to the sellers. In addition, we recorded a net gain of $0.4 million for the settlement of preexisting conditions concurrent with the acquisition that was recorded in Selling, general and administrative expense. The acquisition was included in our Clinical Diagnostics segment's results of operations from the acquisition date and was accounted for as a business combination. The amount of acquisition-related costs was minimal as Bio-Rad primarily represented itself during the acquisition process. Proforma financial statements are not provided as the acquisition is immaterial to Bio-Rad taken as a whole for the periods presented. The final allocation of the payments was $3.4 million to customer relationships, a definite-lived intangible, $0.2 million to deferred tax asset, $0.8 million to deferred tax liability related to the purchased intangible and $1.4 million to acquired net assets. The final allocation of payments was unchanged from our preliminary allocation for the period ended December 31, 2019.
