Oh dear!

I'd almost managed to forget this saga. One that got away from us.

The QuantiFERON-TB latent tuberculosis test delivered strong gains in the U.S. and Europe, in line with a 20% CER annual growth rate, and remains on track to exceed $100 million of sales in 2014.

Of course the existing sales team at Qiagen who have had some influence on this figure.

From PR Newswire 29_10_14

QuantiFERON-TB expanding rapidly around the world, launch moving ahead in China

• QuantiFERON-TB, the market-leading diagnostic for latent tuberculosis infection, continued to deliver strong growth in the third quarter of 2014 and is on track to surpass $100 million in full-year sales. The launch of this product in China during 2014 is moving ahead quickly, while sales are also expanding in the U.S. and Europe amid significant market conversion opportunities against the 120-year-old skin test. QIAGEN is preparing for commercialization of QuantiFERON-TB Plus, a fourth-generation test for latent TB infection that will deliver an improved clinical profile and further workflow optimization.

What a shame we didn't hang on to it.

Hello Rog.,

Just caught up with your post - thanks for that. Yes, there would be no doubting the contribution that the two Dr. R's made in the medical science field. Good luck to them in receiving their awards.

Just a regret that they might have been a little more shareholder friendly (communicative) during the time of Cellestis.

Time to move on.

Interesting .......... I would have expected quite a lot higher sales, given the size of company and resources. I think our Aussie doctors did pretty well on their own, and obviously almost wore themselves out in the process.
Crying shame CST was sold.
