NEW YORK, Oct. 29 (GenomeWeb News) - Harvard Bioscience, the parent company of Genomic Solutions, late yesterday reported increased revenues for the third quarter.

 

The company's revenues for the quarter came to $21.1 million, up from $12.8 million for the third quarter of 2002. Net income was $986,000, compared to an $82,000 loss for the same period last year.
