''We are delighted to have completed this fundraise with a good mix of high calibre institutional and private investors. The new funds have strengthened the Company's balance sheet and will allow us to continue to further enhance our miniaturised mass spectrometer instruments to ensure our continued competitiveness, as well as put Microsaic in a stronger position to support existing partnerships and further commercial agreements - we have signed six new OEM distribution partnerships so far this calendar year."
