Some interesting market phenoma occur with price. We found that by
lowering the price use went up. I interpret this as an unsatisfied user
need that was price sensitive. At this lower price there was enough new use
that we were able to add another analyzer and bring in more income. We're
thinking about adding yet again another. We've found that the cost of
maintaining several instruments is not much more than maintaining one. Of
course, we have no service contracts.
