On a sequential basis our Genetic Analysis unit grew, including a strong performance from our CytoScan HD product which continues to gain momentum, as well as a mid-single digit decline in revenue from our Expression Business unit. We also generated an improved product gross margin of 60%,” said Frank Witney, president and chief executive officer. “We had a better than expected quarter in Europe and Asia and we expect to generate year-over-year growth in our total revenue for 2012.”Select the service that is right for you!
