Q-linea wins public tender for rapid AST

Q-linea AB (publ) (OMX: QLINEA) today announces that the company has received an awarding of a public tender for rapid AST instruments and consumables issued by Fondazione PTV – Tor Vergata in Rome, Italy.

The tender has a validity for five years and a total value of EUR 600,000 and the company expects the formalization of the awarding in 35 days. The equipment will be used at the Policlinico Tor Vergata University of Rome.

Franco Pellegrini, General Manager for Italy/Southern Europe commented, “We are extremely pleased with the outcome of this project. Several companies have been involved in the bidding and ASTar has been selected as preferred system based on the highest score between technical and pricing criteria. This is the first evidence of the proven competitiveness of our solution and an important milestone for future tenders and projects to come”.
 
"It feels really good to share the news that we won the first tender we participated in. We started earlier in Italy compared to our distributor markets and therefore expect to be able to share more positive news in other geographies going forward. Sales cycles are indeed long, but at the same time we see that the tender in Italy is stimulating more tenders, which indicates that the market is starting to see the value of rapid AST. ASTar has performed strongly in the evaluations with customers during the year and it is nice to see that it is now is starting to bear fruit. I also hope that this gives our shareholders the first proof that they have invested in a company with a competitive product," said Jonas Jarvius, CEO and President at Q-linea.
