ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS

As previously announced, on January 10, 2011, Microfluidics International Corporation (“Microfluidics” or the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with IDEX Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“IDEX”), and Nano Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of IDEX (“Purchaser”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, IDEX, through Purchaser, commenced a cash tender offer (the “Offer”) on January 25, 2011, to acquire all of Microfluidics’ outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), at a purchase price of $1.35 per Share (the “Offer Price”), net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and less any required withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated January 25, 2011, and in the related Letter of Transmittal, each as amended or supplemented from time to time.

As previously reported on February 25, 2011, the Offer expired as scheduled at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Thursday, February 24, 2011, and a subsequent offering period was commenced on February 25, 2011. The subsequent offering period was scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Thursday, March 3, 2011. According to Registrar and Transfer Company, the depositary for the Offer, as of such time, a total of 7,410,530 Shares had been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn during the initial offering period and the subsequent offering period, representing approximately 71.05% of the Shares outstanding. Pursuant to the terms of the Offer, as of March 4, 2011, Purchaser has accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn during the initial offering period and all Shares validly tendered during the subsequent offering period, and the consideration for all such Shares either has been paid or promptly will be paid.

On March 4, 2011, IDEX announced that it has extended the subsequent offering period of the Offer through 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Thursday, March 10, 2011. All Shares properly tendered during the subsequent offering period (as extended) will be accepted and stockholders who tender their Shares during the subsequent offering period (as extended) will receive the same Offer Price paid to tendering stockholders who tendered their Shares pursuant to the Offer. The procedures for tendering Shares during the subsequent offering period (as extended) are the same as those described for the Offer, except that (i) the guaranteed delivery procedures may not be used during the subsequent offering period (as extended) and (ii) Shares tendered during the subsequent offering period (as extended) may not be withdrawn.

A copy of the press release issued by IDEX announcing the extension of the subsequent offering period is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
