Rick,
Thanks for confirming that. Oddly, I think the only mention of Tecan came from me (but my memory is notoriously fallible, and I can't be bothered to check), when I saw some of their stuff on a lab visit a while ago. It was mostly gathering dust, I might reiterate. And since they're on a foreign exchange, Trickle has a tough time following them, and has thus chosen to ignore them.
Of foreign companies Trickle could follow, BCOR has been on the watchlist for some time. It recently dipped to the low 30s and snapped back. I believe TD did mention wanting one of their protein-protein reaction analyzers when I asked him to equip his dreamlab. I also saw one of these on my lab visit, and it was not gathering dust. You mentioned competition on their horizon here a while ago, and I know you're tracking proteomics companies. Care to elaborate?
BTW, I love the snide appellations you biologists and chemists have for each other. Fume heads, for example.
