With Michael at the helm, I am confident in the ability of Standard BioTools’ management team to realize new opportunities within the Company’s two major platforms, mass cytometry and microfluidics, while consolidating complementary technologies across the life science ecosystem. I thank our departing Board members for their service and contributions to accomplishing this transaction, and I look forward to continuing to work alongside my fellow Board members to deliver on our commitment to improving the human condition and creating improved shareholder value.”
