The partnership is aligned with Oxevia’s strategy of building a focused group of specialised companies within analytical and diagnostic solutions. Oxevia connects niche leaders across instruments, consumables, and services to create a stronger and more complete partner for research, clinical and industrial applications.

Alfatest and AlfatestLab were advised as financial advisor by the Mid Cap Advisory team of EQUITA, the Italian partner of Clairfield International, by the law firm Pavia e Ansaldo on legal matters and by Studio Colamarco Nicola on tax matters. Oxevia was advised by Giovannelli e Associati Law Firm on legal matters and by Grant Thornton on accounting and tax matters.
