Irvine-based molecular diagnostics company CombiMatrix Corp. plans to raise $12 million in a public offering of convertible preferred stock and warrants.
The preferred shares and warrants are each convertible into about 485 common shares.

The transaction is expected to be complete by the end of this week.
CombiMatrix operates as a diagnostics laboratory through its CombiMatrix Molecular Diagnostics Inc. subsidiary.
It had about $4.6 million in revenue for the first nine months of this year, up about 19% year-over-year. It lost $3.4 million in the same period this year, compared with a loss of $5.7 million a year ago.
