EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the registration statement on Form S-8
(Registration No. 33-6300) previously filed by Microfluidics International Corporation, f/k/a
Biotechnology Development Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the Company), with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on June 9, 1986 (the Registration Statement), pertaining to the
registration of 150,000 shares (the Shares) of Company common stock, par value $0.01 per share
(the Common Stock), under the Biotechnology Development Corporation 1986 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan.
On January 10, 2011, IDEX Corporation, a Delaware corporation (IDEX), Nano Merger Sub, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned direct subsidiary of IDEX (Purchaser), and the Company
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) that provides for IDEX to acquire the Company by means
of a tender offer by Purchaser for all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock followed by the
merger of Purchaser and the Company (the Merger).
The
tender offer was consummated on February 25, 2011.
As a
result of the tender offer, Purchaser acquired approximately 66% of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, all of the stock option and other equity incentive plans of the Company have been terminated
as of February 25, 2011. Accordingly, the Company has terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant to its
existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement.
In accordance with an
undertaking made by the Company in Part II of the Registration Statement to remove from
registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities registered under the
Registration Statement that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby
removes from registration all Shares registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold
as of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1.
