GARP Research maintains a 'Buy' on Luminex (NASDAQ: LMNX).

Analyst, Alastair Mackay, said, "Revenue growth of 12% was propelled by assays from EraGen, acquired last year. The organic rate of ~2% was crimped by a tough comparable on consumable sales. EraGen’s high SG&A pushed earnings down. Meanwhile, partner Bio-Rad signed on as a MagPix distributor."

"GARP projects that xMAP will become one of the most widely used platforms in
multiplexed molecular diagnostics. Revenue from this rapidly-expanding sector may exceed $90 million by 2014, becoming Luminex’s primary growth driver. The installed base of instruments increased by 1,000 in 2011; there are now 8,900 in service. Competitors are years behind."
