See that? 9 sessions in a row up till yesterday’s doji

Looks like I may have to buy into this just to stop it from increasing every day, as it has gaps below current price. investors waited until the new year to buy in probably because they were concerned about tax loss selling into the end of December. Still, My purchase of a stock appears to auto-generate an algorithm built into the stock market which begins to cause the SP to consolidate and then fill all price gaps below the current SP in charts. This will be a good test of that theory.

“Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Total revenue was $18.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared with $31.0 million for the second quarter of 2021, driven by lower instrument and COVID-19 testing revenue. Base product and service revenue (excluding COVID-19 testing revenue) was $17.5 million, approximately 35% lower compared with $26.9 million for the second quarter of 2021.

GAAP net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, was $63.5 million, compared with a GAAP net loss of $17.1 million for the second quarter of 2021. The year-over-year increase in GAAP net loss was driven by increases in fair value of the forward sale contract related to the Series B Preferred Stock and bridge loans aggregating $25.4 million, lower revenue, lower product and service margin, and higher operating expenses. Product line exits during the quarter negatively affected product and service gross profit and net loss by $4.7 million and $8.2 million, respectively.

Non-GAAP net loss, which excludes the fair value increases noted above, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization expenses, and interest expense, was $25.8 million for the quarter, compared with a non-GAAP net loss of $9.3 million for the second quarter of 2021.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 30, 2022, were $211.2 million, compared with $30.0 million as of March 31, 2022.”

Standard BioTools Announces Ascendas Genomics Receives NMPA Approval For Use Of Standard BioTools Microfluidics Technology To Advance The Development Of Molecular Diagnostics In China

Standard BioTools Inc. (NASDAQ:LAB), driven by a bold purpose â?? Unleashing tools to accelerate breakthroughs in human healthâ?¢ â?? today announced that Ascendas Genomics has received approval from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China for use of the company's Biomarkâ?¢ family of systems and its Junoâ?¢ system in NMPA molecular diagnostics services, enabling an important advance for microfluidics technology in the country.

Ascendas Genomics is an innovative molecular diagnostics company with experience in developing high-performing assays for disease risk screening. Recent NMPA approval obtained by Ascendas Genomics enables further development of molecular diagnostics into the clinical market in China, expanding the application of microfluidics products and services.

This announcement builds upon a longstanding strategic partnership between Standard BioTools and Ascendas Genomics, by which Ascendas Genomics has developed and commercialized molecular diagnostic systems and assays in China using microfluidics technologies included in the Standard BioToolsâ?¢ Biomark real-time PCR and Juno systems.

"Ascendas recently started to approach several large CLIA labs in China, and they love Standard BioTools' microfluidics solution because of its automation, accuracy and simplicity," said Dr. Chengyong Yang, Chairman and CEO of Ascendas Genomics, referring to labs sanctioned under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA). "Quantitative PCR is the gold standard for disease testing. High-throughput microfluidic qPCR technology creates a value different from traditional qPCR systems and could potentially become the gold standard for multiplex molecular diagnostic testing."

"Microfluidics technology plays a significant role in accelerating genomics analysis," said Michael Egholm, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Standard BioTools. "We are very pleased to continue our partnership with Ascendas Genomics to further expand our market position in China and better support testing and disease risk screening. We congratulate Ascendas Genomics on its recent approval and will work together to blend the scalable efficiencies of Biomark Xâ?¢ and Juno with Ascendas Genomics' expertise to advance precision medicine in China."

Used by researchers around the world to detect somatic and genomic variations from patient samples, microfluidics technology offers highly scalable and automated workflows for quantitative PCR and enables the cost efficiencies, flexibility and proven analytical performance that laboratories need to meet the increasing demands of molecular testing.

Standard BioTools Releases the X9 Real-Time PCR System, Its Most Productive and Flexible High-Capacity Genomics Platform

The microfluidics-based system accommodates scalable throughputs to address specific and evolving project needsGlobeNewswireOctober 06, 2022
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Oct. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Standard BioTools Inc. (Nasdaq:LAB), driven by a bold purpose -â?¯Unleashing tools to accelerate breakthroughs in human health(TM) - today announced the launch of the X9(TM) Real-Time PCR System, an innovative high-capacity genomics instrument offering superior efficiency.


X9 enables high data output with more than 9,000 individual nanoliter-volume reactions in a single run, ensuring cost-effective, comprehensive sample profiling with minimal operator contribution. Instead of using 96 plates worth of reagents, plastic and labor, X9 can reduce an experiment to a single integrated fluidic circuit (IFC) - a microfluidic chip. The X9 platform, powered by single-touchpoint operation, streamlines laboratory processes by integrating reaction setup into an automated workflow that generates up to 46,080 datapoints per 8-hour shift.

Agricultural genomics and clinical research labs require the flexibility to adapt to changing assay needs, so the ability to mix and match assays for quick and easy implementation with up to 96 targets is key. The X9 System integrates proven Standard BioTools(TM) proprietary microfluidics technology, which helps reduce experimental costs while accommodating relevant and popular applications and chemistries to meet the most demanding customer needs.

"We are committed to connecting the best solution to the needs of the customer, considering cost per sample or per run, throughput requirements, time to results and flexibility of content, among other factors," said Michael Egholm, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Standard BioTools. "Even with ongoing challenges of labor shortages and limited resources, labs are pressed to maintain the same level of output. X9 can help solve these issues by empowering these labs to work within their resources and do more with less.

"We are thrilled that this instrument is primed to support the researchers and core labs in agricultural genomics and clinical research communities, consistent with our sharpened commercial focus on high-value niche markets for specialized applications for which our platform is ideally suited. The system can support various real-time PCR studies, offering faster data output and better use of time."“

LaBranche said it plans to increase its share repurchase authorization from $23.4 million to $100 million.
Had this gut feeling that I would regret selling when I did.Meant to get back in,but never got the chance.

what a concept..lol

talk about mgmt doing a 180!!! selling massive amounts of assets for cash then doing a buyback after seeing no good place for the money........it's as if.......they actually want shareholder value haha

Now they give something good...yep...we did.didn't see this comeing
