The company reported 7,233 clinical tests in the fourth quarter of 2014, a 93% increase from the fourth quarter of 2013 and a 13% increase from the third quarter of 2014. This clinical test number includes 6,216 FoundationOne® tests and 1,017 FoundationOne Heme tests. An additional 2,009 tests were reported to pharmaceutical partners in the fourth quarter of 2014.
