Tony J. Hunt, President and Chief Executive Officer said, “During the third quarter of 2016, product sales grew to $24.7 million, an increase of 25% from the same period in 2015. Our continued growth during the quarter was driven by strong demand for our direct portfolio of products, in particular our XCell™ ATF systems and OPUS® columns. It was also an important period with respect to advancing new products, with the launch of a single-use version of our XCell™ ATF system, and the introduction of a new resin recovery feature on our large OPUS® columns. Our continued investments in new product development, capacity expansion and people to support our expanding franchises position us well for a strong finish to 2016 and into 2017.”
