Oxford Immunotec - Not your usual diagnostics company

Oxford Immunotec is in transition. Having passed the stage before which most diagnostic companies stall – their first approved test – it has recently restructured, with the $170m sale of its US diagnostic services business to Quest. Its diagnostic products are now the focus, while the rate of growth of its first (T-SPOT.TB) test, having reached one million tests per quarter, may moderate. Once the financial and operational dust clears on the divestment, the future direction and time to profitability for Oxford Immunotec is likely to be dependent on the use of its c $200m net cash.
