Description of Business

Bruker Corporation, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (Bruker or the Company), develops, manufactures and distributes high-performance scientific instruments and analytical and diagnostic solutions that enable its customers to explore life and materials at microscopic, molecular and cellular levels. Many of the Company’s products are used to detect, measure and visualize structural characteristics of chemical, biological and industrial material samples.

The Company has four reportable segments:

Bruker Scientific Instruments (BSI) BioSpin:

Designs, manufactures and distributes enabling life science tools based on magnetic resonance technology and provides automated laboratory research and development and quality control workflow solutions in a wide range of chemical research fields. Revenues are generated by academic and government research customers, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and nonprofit laboratories, as well as chemical, food and beverage, clinical and other industrial companies.

BSI CALID (Chemicals, Applied Markets, Life Science, In Vitro Diagnostics, Detection):

Designs, manufactures and distributes life science mass spectrometry, applied spectrometry and ion mobility spectrometry solutions, analytical and process analysis instruments and solutions based on infrared and Raman molecular spectroscopy technologies, provides systems and assays for molecular diagnostics (MDx), biomedical systems/specialty IVD and microbiology, and radiological/nuclear detectors for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive (CBRNE) detection. Revenues are generated from academic institutions and medical schools; pharmaceutical, biotechnology and diagnostics companies; contract research organizations; nonprofit and for-profit forensics laboratories; agriculture, food and beverage safety laboratories; environmental and clinical microbiology laboratories; hospitals and government departments and agencies.

BSI NANO:

Designs, manufactures and distributes advanced X-ray instruments, atomic force microscopy instrumentation, advanced fluorescence optical microscopy instruments, analytical tools for electron microscopes and X-ray metrology, defect-detection equipment for semiconductor process control, handheld, portable and mobile X-ray fluorescence spectrometry instruments, spark optical emission spectroscopy systems, chip cytometry products and services for targeted spatial proteomics, multi-omic services, optofluidic and proteomic barcoding platforms, and products and services for spatial genomics research and spatial biology. Revenues are generated from academic institutions, governmental customers, nanotechnology companies, semiconductor companies, raw material manufacturers, industrial companies, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies and other businesses involved in materials research and life science research analysis.

Bruker Energy & Supercon Technologies (BEST):

Develops and manufactures superconducting and non-superconducting materials and devices for use in renewable energy, energy infrastructure, healthcare and high energy physics research. The segment focuses on metallic low temperature superconductors for use in magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear magnetic resonance, fusion energy research and other applications. Revenues are generated from medical, clinical, pharmaceutical, and aerospace companies as well as other businesses involved in materials research, fusion energy research, high energy physics, renewable energy, and environmental research. BEST also delivers extreme ultraviolet radiation (EUV/XUV) based technologies and solutions to world leading semiconductor companies and research labs.
