Santa Clara, Calif. -- Agilent Technologies, the Santa Clara-based maker of lab technology products, said on Friday it has paid approximately $51.5 million to acquire U.K.-based Cobalt Light Systems, a developer of spectroscopic instruments for the pharmaceutical and public safety industries.

Customers include more than 20 of the largest 25 global pharmaceutical companies, as well as more than 75 airports across Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.

"Raman spectroscopy is one of the fastest-growing segments in spectroscopy," said Phil Binns, the vice president and general manager of Agilent's Spectroscopy and Vacuum Solutions Division. "This acquisition gives our customers access to state-of-the-art Raman spectroscopy technology. It also provides Agilent immediate entry into this fast-growing segment with a highly competitive, differentiated offering."
