Carving a Niche in Saliva-Based Diagnostics
Executive Summary
Given that most diagnostics deals are valued at one to two times sales, $150 million to $200 million may seem like a lot of money to pay for a company with less than $20 million in sales, but that's the value Epitope is placing on STC Technologies Inc. The stock deal aligns two companies who have been working together for some time, positioning them as a leader in the small but growing oral fluid and point-of-care diagnostics market.
