MeetSticker Alpha Program Opens to Global Early Adopters

HONG KONG, Feb. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In recent years, everyday objects — from wallets to travel gear and wearable tech — have become thinner, softer, and more design-oriented. However, tracking technology has lagged behind, still built around rigid, bulky hardware. To bridge this gap, Bitmo Lab, an innovative gadget studio, today officially unveiled MeetSticker and announced the launch of its global Alpha Testing Program.

Reimagining the Form Factor

MeetSticker is not just smaller; it is a fundamental rethink of what a tracker looks like. By ditching the rigid shell, it offers a solution that adapts to the object it protects.

• Paper-Thin Profile: With a thickness of just 0.8mm, it disappears into the inner lining of a passport holder or the tightest wallet slots without creating a bulge.
• Flexible Contour: Unlike rigid discs, it can bend to fit curved surfaces, making it perfect for camera lens caps, helmets, and bicycle frames.
• Cross-Platform Utility: Powered by a proprietary network and dedicated app, it ensures seamless tracking for both iOS and Android users.

Importantly, the sleek surface on this engineering sample is just the beginning. Future versions may explore diverse finishes and even open the door to user customization.

Securing the “Untrackable”

For too long, the tracking industry has focused solely on items with loops or pockets — keys, luggage, and backpacks. This left a massive blind spot for essentials that require a seamless fit.

MeetSticker fills this gap by expanding the definition of what can be protected. It enables tracking for high-value, non-traditional items — from VR headsets to expensive tools — ensuring users no longer have to choose between maintaining the sleek profile of their gear and the security they need.

Join the Co-Creation Journey

Starting February 9, 2026, Bitmo Lab invites global creators and tech enthusiasts to apply for the Alpha Testing phase. This 5-week program is a collaborative effort to validate this new form factor in real-world scenarios. We will be selecting 60 participants to lead this exclusive cohort.

• The Kit: Participants will receive a prototype unit and early App access.
• The Rewards: All applicants gain “Early Bird” status. Active participants who provide feedback will be rewarded with a free retail unit upon official launch.

For more information, visit the Official Campaign Page, or apply here.

Data Privacy Commitment

For this Alpha test, all user data is strictly limited to testing purposes and will be permanently deleted from all servers upon the program’s conclusion.

• Forms a global life sciences and diagnostics leader focused on high-volume testing in regulated applications
• Announces formation of four divisions: Waters Analytical Sciences, Waters Biosciences, Waters Advanced Diagnostics, and Waters Materials Sciences

MILFORD, Mass., Feb. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Waters Corporation (NYSE: WAT) (“Waters”) today announced it has completed the previously announced combination with the Biosciences & Diagnostic Solutions businesses of Becton, Dickinson and Company (NYSE: BDX) (“BD”). The transaction forms a global life sciences and diagnostics leader, equipped with best-in-class technologies, and an industry-leading financial outlook. The Company also announced the appointment of Claire M. Fraser, Ph.D., to its Board of Directors (the “Waters Board”), increasing the size of the Waters Board to a total of 11 members.

Dr. Fraser is a globally acclaimed genome scientist, with three decades of experience managing large research institutes. Most recently, she served as Director of The Institute for Genome Sciences, which she founded in 2007, at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, where she also served as a Professor of Medicine and Microbiology and Immunology. Dr. Fraser received a B.S. in Biology from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY, and a Ph.D. in Pharmacology from the State University of New York at Buffalo. 

“As we reach this important milestone, I want to welcome our new colleagues to Waters and Dr. Claire Fraser to our Board,” said Flemming Ørnskov, M.D., M.P.H., Chairman, Waters. “Dr. Fraser is an internationally recognized scientist with an extensive background in genomics, infectious diseases, and molecular diagnostics. We will benefit from her expertise and deep knowledge of the business to help oversee our next era of growth and value creation.”

“Our combination with BD’s Biosciences and Diagnostic Solutions businesses marks a pivotal moment for Waters, bringing together world-class scientific expertise across chemistry, physics, and biology, with rich histories of innovation,” said Udit Batra, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer, Waters. “As we enter this next chapter, our focus is clear: address our customers’ unmet needs, deliver long-term value for our shareholders, and provide solutions that advance global health. Through our category-defining products and shared culture of innovation, I am confident that together we will accelerate the benefits of pioneering science.”

With the transaction now closed, Waters has established four divisions that reflect the Company’s continued focus on high-volume testing in regulated applications and its decisive expansion into high-growth adjacent markets. The divisions bring together leading scientific teams to support the development and manufacturing of large and small molecule therapeutics and food and environmental testing, and to advance specialty diagnostics in attractive molecular, microbiology, and multiplex applications.

• Waters Analytical Sciences (formerly Waters Division, excluding Waters Clinical Business): comprised of products, service, and compliant informatics linked to separations science and physical molecular characterization, including liquid chromatography instruments, chemistry consumables, and mass spectrometry, UV, light scattering, and particle analysis detection technologies.
   
• Waters Biosciences (formerly BD Biosciences): comprised of products, service, and informatics linked to the field of biology, spanning cellular sorting and analysis, including flow cytometry instruments and reagents, and single-cell multiomics solutions.
   
• Waters Advanced Diagnostics (formerly BD Diagnostic Solutions and Waters Clinical Business): comprised of products and service for high-value diagnostic workflows in regulated clinical settings.

• Waters Materials Sciences (formerly TA Division): comprised of products, service, and informatics spanning a diverse range of materials characterization techniques, including thermal analysis, rheology, and microcalorimetry, serving batteries, electronics, and pharmaceutical applications.

Transaction Information

The combination was effected through a Reverse Morris Trust transaction, where BD’s Biosciences & Diagnostic Solutions businesses (the “Business”) were spun off into a separate entity which merged with a wholly owned subsidiary of Waters, and thus became a wholly owned subsidiary of Waters. Upon consummation of the transaction, Waters shareholders prior to the closing of the transaction owned common stock representing 60.8% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis and BD shareholders owned 39.2% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis. In connection with the transaction, BD shareholders will receive approximately 0.135 shares of Waters common stock for each share of BD common stock that they held as of the close of business on February 5, 2026, the record date for the spin-off, with cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Waters common stock.

Barclays served as financial advisor to Waters, and Kirkland & Ellis LLP served as lead legal counsel.
