Tecan employees and partners around the world have made it possible for us to achieve another strong financial performance in the first half of this year. We are particularly pleased with the strong double-digit growth in applications that are not related to the COVID pandemic. It exceeds our earlier expectations that we were able to deliver organic sales growth in our Life Sciences Business segment already in the first half of the year, despite the extraordinarily high base from the prior-year period. This strong performance is based on high demand for our automation solutions in all major geographies, covering multiple customer segments and end applications. The Partnering Business also saw strong revenue growth for our Cavro components and experienced an upswing in demand for non-Covid routine diagnostic applications. The integration of Paramit is progressing well and the newly consolidated business delivered solid sales growth in line with expectations. Based on the positive business performance and momentum in the first six months, we are raising our revenue outlook for the full-year 2022.
