BioSource International Inc., a Camarillo-based supplier of reagents and test kits used in biomedical research, reported a $163,474 profit for the second quarter that ended June 30, more than four times the $40,103 in earnings reported in the year-earlier period.

Revenue in the latest quarter was $1.71 million, up 26% from revenue of $1.35 million reported a year earlier.
