Holders of Shares whose certificates for such Shares (the “Share Certificates”) are not immediately available or who cannot deliver their Share Certificates and all other required documents to the Depositary (as defined below) on or prior to the Expiration Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), or who cannot complete the procedure for book-entry transfer on a timely basis, must tender their Shares according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase.

Your prompt action is requested. We urge you to contact your clients as promptly as possible. Please note that the Offer and withdrawal rights expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Monday, May 15, 2006, unless the Offer is extended.

The Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, (1) there being validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer a number of Shares which represents at least a majority of the outstanding Shares on a fully-diluted basis on the date of purchase, and (2) all applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, or under any material applicable foreign statutes or regulations having expired or been terminated.

The Board of Directors of Sybron has unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Offer and the Merger, and determined that the terms of the Offer and the Merger are advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, the holders of the Shares and recommends that the holders of the Shares tender their Shares to the Purchaser pursuant to the Offer.

The Offer is being made pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 12, 2006, among Danaher, the Purchaser and Sybron (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, for the making of the Offer by Purchaser, and further provides that, following the completion of the Offer, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), the Purchaser will be merged with and into Sybron (the “Merger”). Following the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), Sybron will continue as the surviving corporation and become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Danaher and the separate corporate existence of the Purchaser will cease.

At the Effective Time, each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (1) Shares held by Danaher, the Purchaser or any other wholly-owned subsidiary of Danaher or the Purchaser, in the treasury of Sybron, or by any wholly-owned subsidiary of Sybron, which will be canceled, and (2) Shares, if any, held by stockholders who have properly exercised appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL) will, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders of the Shares, be converted into the right to receive in cash the per Share price paid in the Offer, payable to the holder thereof, without interest, upon surrender of the Share Certificate formerly representing such Share, less any required withholding taxes.

In order to take advantage of the Offer, (1) a duly executed and properly completed Letter of Transmittal (or a facsimile thereof) and any required signature guarantees, or an Agent’s Message (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) in connection with a book-entry delivery of Shares, and other required documents should be sent to the Depositary, and (2) either Share Certificates representing the tendered Shares should be delivered to the Depositary or such Shares should be tendered by book-entry transfer and a Book-Entry Confirmation (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) with respect to such Shares should be delivered to the Depositary, all in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Letter of Transmittal and the Offer to Purchase.

Holders of Shares whose Share Certificates are not immediately available or who cannot deliver their Share Certificates and all other required documents to the Depositary on or prior to the expiration date of the Offer, or who cannot complete the procedure for delivery by book-entry transfer on a timely basis, must tender their Shares according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase.

The Purchaser will not pay any commissions or fees to any broker, dealer or other person (other than the Depositary and MacKenzie Partners, Inc. (the “Information Agent”) (as described in the Offer to Purchase)) for soliciting tenders of Shares pursuant to the Offer. The Purchaser will, however, upon request, reimburse you for customary clerical and mailing expenses incurred by you in forwarding any of the enclosed materials to your clients. The Purchaser will pay or cause to be paid any stock transfer taxes payable on the transfer of Shares to it, except as otherwise provided in Instruction 6 of the Letter of Transmittal.

Very truly yours,

MACKENZIE PARTNERS, INC.
