Danaher reported improving life‑sciences trends with its Life Sciences unit delivering the strongest performance in years and bioprocessing orders growing mid‑teens, suggesting underlying demand for consumables and equipment is solid. Management said just over $100 million of revenue shifted into next year, indicating delayed rather than lost customer projects, but cut the upper end of its full‑year core revenue growth outlook to 4% due to weakness in biotechnology and respiratory testing.
