IRIS International Inc., a Chatsworth-based maker of automated urinalysis systems and medical devices used in hospitals and clinical laboratories, said that it has signed a five-year supply agreement with IDEXX Laboratories Inc. to supply its veterinary centrifuge.


Under the terms of the agreement, IRIS will be the sole supplier of the StatSpin VT and similar stand alone veterinary centrifuges for all of Westbrook,

Me.-based IDEXX’s in-clinic needs in the U.S. and Europe. The contract is estimated to be worth around $11 million.


“Our association with IDEXX goes back to the late 1980s when we introduced our first StatSpin multipurpose centrifuge for clinical and animal health diagnostics,” said Robert Mello, president of IRIS’ sample processing business unit, in a statement. “The close relationship between our two companies is reinforced by the fact that under the agreement the VT centrifuge will carry both the StatSpin and IDEXX brand names.”
