“2008 was a transformational year for Luminex as the Company delivered a record performance and achieved several major milestones,” said Patrick J. Balthrop, president and chief executive officer of Luminex. “In addition to record revenues and profits, we introduced innovative products, entered into exciting new partnerships and enhanced our balance sheet. Our fourth quarter results demonstrated the Company’s continuing momentum.

“Record revenue growth, combined with the highest gross margins in our history, has positioned Luminex well for the future,” added Balthrop. “The successful execution of our growth strategy has led to our installed base of almost 6,000 instruments which continues to drive demand and high growth in our most profitable product lines. These resources provide Luminex with the ability to invest in the Company’s longer term growth strategies, such as innovative research and development projects, geographic and commercial expansion, and dedication to regulatory compliance. As we look toward 2009 and beyond, we believe that Luminex is well positioned to execute our growth strategy and continue to deliver long term shareholder value.”
