Products and Applications

Our MassARRAY system provides reliable results for numerous types of DNA analysis applications including SNP genotyping and allelotyping, SNP discovery, quantitative gene expression analysis, quantitative methylation marker analysis, and oligonucleotide quality control. While the MassARRAY system is versatile, it also became a more cost-effective solution for customer needs with our 2005 launch of the iPLEX assay. The iPLEX assay is a proprietary assay, which provides for multiplexed DNA sample analysis that in turn provides cost-effectiveness by allowing the user to perform multiple sample analyses using a similar amount of reagents

On March 27, 2006, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with three investors that provides for the sale of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock to the investors for gross proceeds to us of $30.0 million not including any proceeds from exercise of the warrants.

On March 30, 2006, we amended and restated the securities purchase agreement to add a fourth investor and increase the gross proceeds to $33.0 million not including proceeds from exercise of the warrants. Under the amended and restated securities purchase agreement, we will issue to the investors, subject to the approval of our stockholders and the satisfaction of various closing conditions, (i) an aggregate of 60,000,000 shares of our common stock and (ii) seven-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 36,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.70 per share (subject to certain antidilution protections and other adjustment provisions]

Their stock is trading at $4. Outstanding, if diluted about 140 million.

Accumulated deficit $443 million

Compare that to DNAG #'s

price: .0175

Outstanding, if diluted about 600 million

Accumulated deficit: $38 million? I think.
