Tucson, Ariz.-based Sunquest already sells its CoPathPlus anatomic pathology system, along with a laboratory information system. The acquisition of PowerPath and its 250 North American clients will double Sunquest's market share to 24 percent, the largest in the industry, according to the vendor.

Sunquest will continue to make investments in both pathology products and cross-share technology among the products. The company pledges an "absolute and clear" no sunset policy. More information is available at sunquestinfo.com/PPAcquisition.
