(Sharecast News) - Cell engineering technology specialist MaxCyte reported total fourth quarter revenue of $15.7m on Wednesday, up 26% on the same period in 2022.

"We are pleased with our accomplishments and progress in 2023, which included supporting the recent FDA approval of CASGEVY by our client, Vertex Pharmaceuticals."
Masoud noted that MaxCyte signed five new SPLs in 2023, and hd seen continued momentum with three additional SPLs signed in January.
"Our pipeline of potential clients remains robust, and we look forward to further expanding our portfolio of SPLs in 2024.
