Cytek Biosciences, Inc.

Good afternoon, and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the SciTech Biosciences first quarter 2023 earnings conference call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After the speaker's presentation, there will be a question and answer session. To ask a question during the session, you will need to press star 1-1 on your telephone, and you will then hear an automated message advising that your hand is raised. To withdraw your questions, simply press star 11 again. As a reminder, today's conference is being recorded. I would now like to hand the conference over to your speaker today, Paul Goodson, Head of Investor Relations.

Paul, please go ahead. Thank you, Operator.

Earlier today, SciTech Biosciences released financial results for the quarter ended March 31st, 2023. If you haven't received this news release, or if you'd like to be added to the company's distribution list, please send an email to investors at scitechbio.com. Joining me today from Scitech are Wenbin Zhang, CEO, and Patrick Xiamenow, CFO. Before we begin, I'd like to remind you that management will make statements during this call that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements regarding Scitech's business plans, strategies, opportunities, and financial projections. These statements are based on the company's current expectations and inherently involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to materially differ from those anticipated. Additional information regarding these risks and uncertainties appears in the section entitled forward-looking statements in the press release CITEC issued today and in CITEC's filings with the SEC. This call will also include a discussion of certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure may be found in today's earnings release submitted to the SEC. Except as required by law, CITAC disclaims any duty to update any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events, or changes in its expectations. This conference call contains time-sensitive information and is accurate only as of live broadcast May 9th, 2023. With that, I would like to turn the call over to Wenbin.
