Brooks Automation vs. Azenta

edit

This article completely mischaracterizes the relationship of Brooks Automation and Azenta. Brooks Automation split into two companies; one company retained the original name and focus on semiconductor manufacturing, while the other was renamed Azenta and focused on life sciences. The companies exist as separate entities, so should have their own pages. 2601:346:E80:2FA0:2970:A783:D235:97BF (talk) 14:27, 9 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
