In  addition,  the Company has a $4,500,000 revolving line of  credit  with
Fiat Finance U.S.A., Inc. through April 29, 1997.

       The  Company  is  obligated to make royalty payments  under  several
distribution  and  licensing agreements.  The majority of these  agreements
call  for  payments based on  a percentage of sales and contain no  minimum
royalty  clause.  Royalty expense under these agreements was  $378,000  and
$368,000  for  the  quarters  ended  June  28,  1996  and  June  30,  1995,
respectively,  and  $876,000 and $677,000 for the six month  periods  ended
June 28, 1996 and June 30, 1995, respectively.


NOTE 6 _ EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLANS

       The  Company  has  individual  retirement  agreements  with  certain
executive officers which are intended to provide continued compensation  to
such  officers or their respective beneficiaries upon retirement  from  the
Company.   The  benefits and terms under these arrangements vary  depending
upon  the officer's position within the Company.  In connection with  these
plans,  included  in Other non-current liabilities at  June  28,  1996  and
December 31, 1995 are $3,249,000 and $3,136,000, respectively, representing
the  present  value  of the future liability.  Also,  included  in  Accrued
expenses  at  June 28, 1996 and December 31, 1995 are $66,000 and  $31,000,
respectively,  representing the current portion  of  this  liability.   The
Company  intends  to  fund this obligation through  the  purchase  of  life
insurance contracts on the individual executives.  Included in Other assets
at  June  28,  1996  and  December  31, 1995  are  $984,000  and  $934,000,

NOTE 7 _ INCOME TAXES

      Upon  the exercise of certain officer stock options during  the  year
ended  December  31,  1990,  the Company was  entitled  to  a  compensation
deduction  allowable for income tax purposes.  No compensation expense  was
required for financial reporting purposes because the option price  on  the
original grant date equaled the then fair market value of the shares.  Upon
realization of the benefit relating to the compensation deduction  for  tax
purposes,  the  benefit is credited to additional  paid  in  capital.   The
Company  recognized  credits  of  $58,000 and  $110,000,  respectively,  to
Additional paid in capital relating to these stock options for the quarters
ended  June  28,  1996  and  June  30  ,1995  and  $119,000  and  $110,000,

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

QUARTER ENDED JUNE 28, 1996 VS. QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

      Sales for the quarter ended June 28, 1996 increased 3% to $11,355,000
from  $11,041,000  for  the  same  period  a  year  earlier.   The  Company
experienced  sales growth in its autoimmune, infectious disease  and  serum
proteins  product lines.  Additionally, contributing to the  increase  were
sales  from  the  Company's hepatitis assays, as  discussed  below.   Sales
continue   to   be  negatively  impacted  by  declines  in  the   Company's
endocrinology and transplantation markets due to the continued shift in the
diagnostic   industry  from  isotopic,  manual  testing  to   non-isotopic,
automated  and  semi-automated testing.  As these trends  are  expected  to
continue,  the Company continues to focus development efforts on  automated
and semi-automated tests which are non-isotopic.  Sales levels continue  to
be highly dependent upon the success of these efforts.

      Domestic  sales declined 2% to $5,568,000 for the quarter ended  June
28,  1996  from  $5,660,000 for the same period in  the  prior  year.   The
Company generated $552,000 in sales during the second quarter of 1996  from
one  of its hepatitis assays due to a competitor's kit becoming unavailable
to  the  market  in June 1995.  While the competitor reentered  the  market
during  late  February,  the Company has been able to  maintain  a  certain
portion of these sales.  In addition, the Company realized continued growth
in  its  autoimmune,  infectious disease and serum protein  product  lines.
However,  as  discussed above, offsetting these increases  were  continuing
declines in the Company's endocrinology product offerings.

      International sales increased 8% to $5,787,000 for the quarter  ended
June  28,  1996  from  $5,381,000 for the same period in  the  prior  year.
International revenues continue to be favorably impacted in the  infectious
disease  segment  by  sales of the Company's second  generation  tests  for
Epstein  Barr  Virus.   In  addition,  sales  were  favorably  impacted  by
increases  in  the  Company's autoimmune and serum protein  product  lines.
Sales  were  negatively impacted by declines in the transplantation  market
segment  as  this  market  continues to shift away  from  manual,  isotopic
testing as discussed above.

      Gross  margins for the second quarter of 1996 improved  to  50.0%  of
sales  compared  to 48.2% of sales for the same period in the  prior  year.
This  improvement is due in part to a change in the mix of sales, discussed
above,  compared to the same period a year earlier as well as  efficiencies
derived  from a restructuring of operations in the second quarter of  1995.
Notwithstanding  this  improvement, the Company's margins  continue  to  be
highly sensitive to product mix and volume changes.

      Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased 5% to
$3,322,000  in  the second quarter of 1996 from $3,155,000  in  the  second
quarter  of  1995  due  to costs associated with the  introduction  of  new
products.  These expenses have remained at 29% of sales and are expected to
remain relatively consistent throughout 1996.

     Research and development ("R&D") expenditures increased 8% to $946,000
in  the  second  quarter of 1996 from $875,000 for the same period  in  the
prior  year and remained flat at 8% of sales.  This increase is mainly  due
to  costs  associated with new product development efforts, clinical  costs
and external costs associated with the Company's scientific networks.

      Interest expense decreased to $7,000 compared to $53,000 for the same
period  in the prior year.  This decrease is attributable to lower  average
debt levels.

      Income  tax  expense for the quarter was $348,000, or 24%  of  income
before  taxes,  compared with income tax expense of  $426,000,  or  34%  of
income  before  taxes, in the second quarter of 1995.  The decline  in  the
effective  tax  rate  is  due to the recognition of  certain  deferred  tax
assets.   The  Company  expects  the  effective  tax  rate  to  remain   at
approximately 24% during the remainder of 1996.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 28, 1996 VS. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

      Sales  for the six month period ended June 28, 1996 increased  3%  to
$22,810,000  from  $22,158,000 for the same period  a  year  earlier.   The
Company experienced growth in its autoimmune, infectious disease and  serum
protein  market  segments.  In addition, sales were favorably  impacted  by
sales  of   the  Company's  hepatitis assays, as  discussed  below.   Sales
continue   to   be  negatively  impacted  by  declines  in  the   Company's
endocrinology  and  transplantation market segments due  to  the  continued
shift  in  the  diagnostic industry from isotopic, manual testing  to  non-
isotopic,  automated  and  semi-automated testing.   As  these  trends  are
expected to continue, the Company continues to focus development efforts on
automated  and semi-automated tests which are non-isotopic.   Sales  levels
continue to be highly dependent upon the success of these efforts.

      Domestic sales increased 4% to $11,730,000 for the sixth month period
ended June 28, 1996 from $11,227,000 for the same period in the prior year.
As  discussed  above, the Company continues to experience  an  increase  in
demand  for one of its hepatitis assays due to a competitor's kit  becoming
unavailable  to  the  market in June 1995.  This  opportunity  resulted  in
approximately  $1.7 million in sales during the first six months  of  1996.
The  competitor  reentered  the market place in late  February,  which  has
resulted  in a decline of these product sales from their levels during  the
second  half of 1995.  In addition, the Company realized significant growth
in  its TheratestTM product line and increases in its serum protein product
line.   However,  as  discussed  above,  offsetting  these  increases  were
continuing declines in the Company's endocrinology product offerings.

      International  sales increased 1% to $11,080,000 for  the  six  month
period  ended June 28, 1996 compared to $10,931,000 for the same period  in
the  prior year.  International revenues continue to be favorably  impacted
in  the  infectious  disease  segment by  sales  of  the  Company's  second
generation  tests for Epstein Barr Virus.  Sales were negatively  impacted,
however, in the routine endocrinology and transplantation segments as these
market  continue to shift away from manual, isotopic testing  as  discussed
above.

      Gross  margins for the first six months of 1996 improved to 50.8%  of
sales  compared  to 47.2% of sales for the same period in the  prior  year.
This  improvement is due in part to a change in the mix of sales, discussed
above,  compared to the same period a year earlier as well as  efficiencies
derived  from a restructuring of operations in the second quarter of  1995.
Notwithstanding  this  improvement, the Company's margins  continue  to  be
highly sensitive to product mix and volume changes.

      SG&A  expenses increased to $6,617,000, or 29% of sales, in the first
six months of 1996 from $6,115,000, or 28% of sales, for the same period in
the  prior  year.  The increase in expenditures is due to costs  associated
with the introduction of new products.  These expenses, as a percentage  of
sales, are expected to remain relatively consistent throughout 1996.

      R&D  expenditures increased 12% to $2,007,000 in the first six months
of 1996 from $1,788,000 for the same period in the prior year and increased
as  a  percentage  of sales to 9% compared to 8% in the prior  year.   This
increase  is  mainly due to increased emphasis on new product  development,
including the establishment of scientific advisory panels for the Company's
autoimmune  and bone and mineral metabolism segments.    These  panels  are
intended  to enhance and strengthen the Company's ties with the  scientific
community.

      Interest  expense decreased to $14,000 compared to $141,000  for  the
same  period  in  the prior year.  This decrease is attributable  to  lower
average debt levels.

      Income  tax  expense  for  the six months ended  June  28,  1996  was
$719,000,  or 24% of income before taxes, compared with income tax  expense
of  $790,000, or 33% of income before taxes, for the same period  in  1995.
The  decline in the effective tax rate is due to the recognition of certain
deferred tax assets.  The Company expects the effective tax rate to  remain
at approximately 24% during the remainder of 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      The Company's operating cash flow in the first six months of 1996 was
$2,303,000 and $2,730,000 for the same period in the prior year.  Free cash
flow (operating cash flow less investment activities) decreased to $813,000
in the first six months of 1996 from $2,441,000 in the comparable period of
the  prior  year.   This  decrease  is attributable  to  increased  capital
spending  associated with instrumentation, manufacturing  improvements  and
computer  upgrades.  Net working capital increased to $17,386,000  at  June
28, 1996 from $14,947,000 at December 31, 1995.

      At June 28, 1996, the Company's primary sources of liquidity are a $1
million  revolving bank credit line secured by Company assets  and  a  $4.5
million  unsecured credit line with Fiat Finance U.S.A., Inc.  At June  28,
1996,  the Company had no outstanding borrowings under these credit  lines.
The Company believes that its operating cash flow and existing credit lines
will   provide   ample  sources  of  liquidity  for  all  planned   capital
expenditures and research and development activities.  Capital spending for
the  remainder  of  1996  is  anticipated to be  approximately  $1,500,000,
primarily for manufacturing improvements and laboratory equipment.
