WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PerkinElmer, Inc. (NYSE: PKI), a global leader committed to innovating for a healthier world, today announced that it anticipates growth in both reported revenue and organic revenue1 of approximately 12% for the second quarter ended July 5, 2020.

Demand for the Company’s RT-PCR and serology tests, RNA extraction systems and kits, and automated liquid handling instrumentation was particularly robust.
