Fourth quarter revenues were $4.0 million, a 118% increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2013, and a 25% increase over the third quarter. This growth was driven by strong market demand across all customer categories. The Clinical services business, which provides oncology testing for clinicians, cancer centers, and hospitals.

Revenue from the Company's Biopharma services business, which includes our acquisition of Gentris, provides genomic, molecular and biomarker based testing for biotech and pharmaceutical customers, was up 280%, as compared to the prior year fourth quarter.
Revenue for the full-year increased 54%, to $10.2 million, primarily due to the acquisitions of Gentris and BioServe. The Company's average revenue (excluding grant revenue and probe revenue) per test decreased to $550 per test for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $566 per test for the year ended December 31, 2013, principally due to a decrease in the average revenue per test from private insurance carriers and other non-Medicare payors.

Revenue from Clinical services customers increased 21%, or $770,000, to $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, from $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, primarily due to an increase in test volume. This increase in volume was partially offset by a decrease in average revenue per test from private insurance carriers and other non-Medicare payors. Revenue from Discovery services, a recently launched service line focused on the technology and discovery needs of research organizations in public and private companies increased $161,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014, representing approximately 2% of total revenue.
