This story has been updated from a previous version to correct the amount of the gross proceeds from Nanosphere's IPO and the over-allotment.

The company, which trades under the ticker symbol NSPH, in August said it generated $1.1 million in revenues last year and $1.9 million in revenues in 2005, and held $34.5 million in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31.
The molecular diagnostics company’s sole book-runner was Credit Suisse Securities. Co-managing the IPO were Piper Jaffray & Co., Leerink Swan, and Allen & Company.
