DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-258704) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by Bruker Cellular Analysis, Inc. (the “Registrant”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 11, 2021, registering an indeterminate number of shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.00005, preferred stock, par value $0.00005, debt securities, depositary shares, warrants, purchase contracts and/or units.

On October 2, 2023, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of August 17, 2023, among the Registrant, Bruker Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Bird Mergersub Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Purchaser”), Purchaser was merged with and into the Registrant (the “Merger”), with the Registrant continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Registrant has terminated any and all offerings and sales of securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities of the Registrant registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and removes from registration all of the securities that remain unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof, if any.

The Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment to withdraw and remove from registration all securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the date hereof. The Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities. After giving effect to this Post-Effective Amendment, there will be no remaining securities registered by the Registrant pursuant to the Registration Statement.

The foregoing description of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on August 17, 2023.

SIGNATURE

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3ASR and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Billerica, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on October 2, 2023.
