Bull points
- We are on the brink of our product launch of our next generation analyzer. It's the most important analyzer that we've ever created or launched. It's the most important product for us in a 20-year time period.
- Within the operating division, we reported a 59.5% increase in the kit sales, which are single use disposable kits from 2022 compared to 2021. We also reported a substantial increase in the total revenue of our operating company of over 20%.
- our next generation analyzers promise to be several times faster than the current technology, capable of being administered potentially by users beyond lab technicians, for example, nurses and doctors, because it's a clear waiver status that we're seeking.
Bear points
