Genoptix, Inc. incorporated in Delaware in January 1999. It is a specialized laboratory service provider, which is focused on delivering personalized and comprehensive diagnostic services to community-based hematologists and oncologists, or hem/oncs. Its group of hematopathologists utilizes diagnostic technologies to provide a differentiated, specialized and integrated assessment of a patient's condition, aiding hem/oncs in making vital decisions concerning the treatment of malignancies of the blood and bone marrow, and other forms of cancer. The company's key service offerings, COMPASS and CHART, are designed to meet the specific needs of community-based hem/oncs. Its COMPASS service offering includes the determination by its hempaths of the appropriate diagnostic tests to be conducted and the performance of these tests. It then evaluate, synthesize and summarize the results into an easy to read comprehensive report, and its hempaths are available to interpret these results jointly with the hem/onc, giving them the benefit of its expertise and analytical experience. The company's CHART service offering combines multiple COMPASS assessments and analyses of disease progression after intervening clinical action, providing the hem/onc with a valuable diagnostic tool to track both a patient's disease and response to the hem/onc's prescribed treatment regimen over time. The Company believes its sales and marketing approach distinguishes it from its competitors. Most of its sales representatives have a four-year Bachelor of Science or Arts degree, primarily in the biological sciences, and a three-to five-year history selling diagnostic services or niche pharmaceuticals directly to hem/oncs. As a specialized diagnostic service provider, it relies extensively on its quality of service to attract and retain community-based hem/oncs and other healthcare professionals as its customers. As a diagnostic service provider, the Company is required to hold certain federal, state and local licenses, certifications and permits to conduct its business.
