More than CMS, it's Premier's endorsement/contract that made me bullish on this long-term watchlist candidate.

Management has underperformed in nearly every aspect in the past 4 years. Sales have fallen as products underperformed and continued delays in FDA approval of OTC oraquick product.

The fiest quarter of 2009 should prove the low point in company sales and earnings. Cryo produces are once again being dstributed (all be it in a limited form) after a year without distribution. FDA approval of HEP C should take place later this year and the light at the end of the (FDA OTC) approval for oraquick.

The market will discount these new revenue streams within the next few months (normally 6-9 months prior to FDA approval.

The company has nearly 1.62 / share net working capital and only trades about $1.00 above that level.

This is my first rating on CAPS so take everything with a grain of salt.

good luck

Beaten down recently on concerns over its HIV test and legal issues, but still has excellent prospects for its over-the-counter oral fluid HIV test and its hepatitis C test for healthcare professionals.

Oral over-the-counter HIV test is going to be approved in one year. Oral test for drugs will start making large in roads into the market share for job drug testing

The use of saliva-based tests will increase and Orasure will be a great acquisition target for a big company, like a J&J.

Instant HIV and adbuse drug testing should be a hit. How long before the hype though.
