Genetic Signatures Ltd reported sales of $2.9 million in Q3 FY2025, an increase of 71% on the prior corresponding period.

Multiple customer sites are in various stages of procurement procedures. Genetic Signatures also continued to build inventory to support the anticipated initial stocking and sales orders.During the quarter, the company announced a new strategy to provide automated, high throughput solutions through the customisation of commercially available instruments. This approach will deliver a bespoke solution in a shorter timeframe and at a lower development cost compared to the previous direction. In parallel, Genetic Signatures is conducting a market assessment to expand its syndromic infectious disease menu for the 3base technology, which will be launched with the new hardware and software solution.The company's R&D team remains focused on improving existing workflows and increasing the automation and ease of operation of current instrumentation while the new solutions are being developed.
