“Luminex delivered strong financial and operating performance for the first quarter of 2011,” said Patrick J. Balthrop, president and chief executive officer of Luminex. “Our consumable, assay, and royalty revenue categories each showed excellent growth trends over the prior year period. Consumable revenue reached an all-time record in the first quarter, growing 53% year-over-year, which reflects the strong demand from our top partners. In addition, we continue to expand our installed base at a healthy rate and look forward to expanding our distribution for our MAGPIX system in the near future.”
“During the quarter we announced an exciting collaboration with Partners HealthCare, a premier Boston-based integrated health system, with the goal of accelerating the development and commercialization of novel molecular diagnostic tests. Regarding assay development initiatives, Luminex is on-track with its innovative Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel, xTAG® GPP, and xMAP® NeoPlex4™ assay products.
