To All,
As reported in their 10-K, there are 8 to 10 million H. pylori test performed each year in the U.S. How much of that market can they realistically expect to capture? There is a H. pylori test already in the market, developed by Quidel (QDEL). Does anyone know how Chemtrak's test compares to theirs and could this have had an effect on the stock heading lower even after FDA approval of its test? Although, I assume their deal with Astra Merck should give their test a big advantage over that of QDEL's.

With additional approvals of the HIV test and Theophylline test slated for sometime this year, I see this dip in the stock after approval of their H. pylori test as a great opportunity to add on to my position in this company!!! Comments?
