Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Total revenue for the second quarter of 2021 was $30.4 million, a 59% increase over the second quarter of 2020. This increase was primarily driven by sales of Aurora and Northern Lights™ instruments.

Operating expenses were $15.9 million for the second quarter of 2021, an 87% increase from $8.5 million in the second quarter of 2020.
