NEW YORK, Oct. 23 (GenomeWeb News) - PerkinElmer today said that third-quarter sales remained largely flat, though revenue from its life and analytical-sciences business increased slightly in the period.

 

Total revenue for the three months ended Sept. 28 was $367 million compared with $366 million in the same period one year ago. Receipts from the life and ananlytical-sciences unit inched up to $235 million from $232 million during the third quarter 2002, the company said.
