After the close, Quidel Corporation (NASDAQ: QDEL) announced today that it currently anticipates its highest quarterly revenue and operating income in its history, driven by global shipments of its QuickVue(R) Influenza A+B tests in the third quarter of 2009.

Quidel said demand for its market-leading tests accelerated during the third quarter, consistent with reports of escalating influenza-like illness in the U.S.

Since the end of April 2009, the company has continued to manufacture flu tests seven days a week at its facility in San Diego and has the capacity to produce millions of additional tests per month to accommodate customer orders.

Shares of QDEL are up 4.9% in pre-open trading today.
