Ann: Purchase Order for Multiple APAS Instruments, page-20

you are right - they have been pretty clear on Thermo buying. i jumped the gun in my haste.

i take it as a good sign but until it is the end customer purchasing then i see it as we still have a problem. i wonder if we will get details of each customer that buys an APAS going forward or just an update Thermo has bought more.... if it lots it is hopefully irrelevant.

can't see Thermo buying another 5 machines without the end customers buying . thermo to buy approx $1.5M - 1.75M in APAS machines is small change to them. i know this will be a calculated risk for them - hopefully they have exercised excellent judgement.
