The tests processed in Q4 23 is a new record and represents a 42% increase on the 6,242 tests processed in the same quarter of the prior year (Q4 22). The result brings total volumes for FY 23 to 31,566 – a 37% increase on the 23,086 tests in the prior financial year (FY 22).

US volumes led the growth rising to 7,817 in Q4 23, an 18% increase on the 6,629 tests in Q3 23. The figure also represents a 48% increase on the 5,290 tests processed in Q4 22. The result brings US test volumes for FY 23 to 27,218, an increase of 44% on the 18,864 in FY 22.

The number of unique ordering clinicians in the US has continued to grow through the quarter to 1,151 at the end of Q4 23, up 6% on the 1,081 ordering in Q3 23 and up 46% on the 789 clinicians who ordered tests in Q4 221.
