-- BioXp® Kit Revenue increased to $884k, or 69% in 3QFY22 over 3QFY2021

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Telesis Bio Inc. (NASDAQ: DNAY), a company enabling customers to accelerate the reading and writing of biology, today reported financial results and business highlights for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

“We are continuing to execute to our plan of being the leader in benchtop automation for synthetic biology, multiomics and next gen sequencing,” said Todd R. Nelson, Ph.D., CEO and Founder of Telesis Bio.

Dr. Nelson continued, "Beginning in Q1 of 2023 we will release additional BioXp® kits that will enable scientists to begin the cloning, amplification, and mRNA synthesis process from the customer’s own linear DNA or plasmid DNA. We believe providing scientists the flexibility to begin with their own materials as an optional starting point will further expand the utility, speed, and impact of our systems. This will allow us to deliver increased value to our customers and to access a significantly larger portion of the customer base. The new kits will also position us well to take increased share of the synthetic biology and multiomics markets, while at the same time growing our revenue, and improving our margins.”
