“September was the strongest month for customer acquisition in the history of Great Basin—with 24 new customers added in that month alone—showing what we believe is sustained strength in our sales funnel, and continuing demand for our Group B Strep test,” said Ryan Ashton, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Great Basin Scientific. “I’m extremely pleased with the strides we have made toward a shortened sales cycle and for achieving a 91 percent evaluation win-rate in the quarter, which adds to our confidence of achieving our customer acquisition guidance by the end of the year.”
