eventual buyout?

[dimar66]

People keep saying that RBM is going to taken over or bought out, perhaps by Roch or 3M.  I think we must consider that  both of these players know the old adage "you don't need to buy the cow to get the milk". Certainly it is quite likely that eventually new technlogy will come along that will surpass Ramp.  Our "friends" at Roche or 3M are likely to move on, unless RBM has a development pipeline which includes promising new testing platforms, which we don't right now.

RBM once had a research initiative to do prostate testing but gave it up.  Here is a good article updating where this is at in terms of clinical usefulness, it seems the right decision was not to go ahead with the PSA marker.
