This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D with respect to the common stock of New Brunswick Scientific Co., Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the “Issuer”), is being filed on behalf of the Reporting Persons to amend the Schedule 13D originally filed on July 20, 2007.  Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in said Schedule 13D.
 
 
Item 1. Security and Issuer
 
Item 1 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
 
The class of equity securities to which this statement relates are 100 shares of common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”), of the Issuer. The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 44 Talmadge Road, Edison, NJ 08818-4005.
 
 
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
 
Item 3 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
 
The Agreement and Plan of Merger described in Item 4 of this amendment to Schedule 13D (the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference) was entered into by and among Eppendorf Inc, Edison Merger Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eppendorf Inc (“Merger Sub”), and the Issuer.  The merger of Merger Sub with and into the Issuer pursuant to the Merger Agreement (as defined) was consummated on September 24, 2007.  The purchase price for the New Brunswick Scientific Co., Inc. Common Stock acquired in the merger was $11.50 in cash, without interest, per share, or approximately $110 million in the aggregate.  Such purchase price was funded through a combination of internally generated funds of Eppendorf Inc and Eppendorf AG and bank debt.
 
 
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
 
Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following in the appropriate places, as follows:
 
(a)-(b)      On July 10, 2007, Eppendorf Inc, Merger Sub and the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”) with the Issuer surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eppendorf Inc, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.  On September 24, 2007, the Merger occurred and the Issuer issued a press release announcing the consummation of the Merger.  A copy of the press release is filed herewith as Exhibit 4 and is incorporated herein by reference.  A copy of the Merger Agreement was included as Exhibit 2 to the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on July 20, 2007.  The description of the Merger Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to such Exhibit 2, which is incorporated herein by reference.
 
(d)           As a result of the Merger and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, effective September 24, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Issuer was replaced by representatives of Merger Sub.
 
(e)           As a result of the Merger, effective September 24, 2007, the number of shares of Common Stock that the Issuer is authorized to issue is 1,000.



 
 
(g)           Pursuant to the terms of Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Issuer were amended.  Under the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the total number of shares of stock which the Issuer has the authority to issue is 1,000 shares of Common Stock.
 
(h)           Upon consummation of the Merger, the Common Stock was delisted from, and is no longer quoted on, the Nasdaq Global Market.
 
(i)           Upon consummation of the Merger, the Common Stock is now eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
 
 
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
Item 5 is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following in the appropriate places, as follows:
 
(a)           Eppendorf Inc has acquired and, for the purpose of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 100 shares of New Brunswick Scientific Co., Inc. Common Stock, representing all of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer (the “Shares”).
 
(b)           The Reporting Persons have sole power to vote and to dispose of 100% of the Shares.
 
(c)           As a result of the Merger and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Reporting Persons now beneficially own all of the Shares.
