Since Harvard Bioscience is a market leader when it comes to providing tools for research and other such purposes, this acquisition implies a good future. According to Chane Graziano, CEO of Harvard Bioscience, this new acquisition will bring a lot of positives for Harvard Bioscience as it will add to their products. The business unit will remain in Sweden though.
According to Philip Siberg, CEO of CMA Microdialysis, Harvard Bioscience will be allowed to name the preclinical unit; and because of that, it will now be called, Dipylon Medical AB and will continue to market microdialysis products.

The investigators found that lumbar disc degeneration and obesity are mainly associated with non-specific low back pain. Extensive research on the genetics behind the causes of back pain is still necessary.
