David,

Per my conversation with CEO of Hemagen (HMGN) a while back,
the machine has been around for about 12 years. About 80% of
the current installations are in the Human Medicine market.
He mentioned that both the ABAX and Dade-Behring units are
of the same origin. I believe he meant that people once worked
together, one group split off and became ABAX (I have to verify this).

If you look in HMGN's press release, their push is to develop
more tests for the human market. He said disks were priced at $8.
They are currently doing about $8MM per year in revenues with
the machine.

I would be curious what ABAX management thinks of the Dade-Behring
unit.
