Intangible assets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 consisted of the following (in thousands):


	Weighted Average Amortization Period	September 30, 2014
		COST		Accumulated Amortization		Net

Customer Relationships	156 months	$	1,860	$	33	$	1,827

Support Vector Machine (SVM) technology	108 months	$	500	$	153	$	347

Laboratory developed test (LDT) technology	164 months	$	1,482	$	270	$	1,212

Flow Cytometry and Cytogenetics technology	202 months	$	1,000	$	150	$	850


Total		$	4,842	$	606	$	4,236


	Weighted Average Amortization Period	December 31, 2013
		COST		Accumulated Amortization		Net

Support Vector Machine (SVM) technology	108 months	$	500	$	112	$	388

Laboratory developed test (LDT) technology	164 months	$	1,482	$	188	$	1,294

Flow Cytometry and Cytogenetics technology	202 months	$	1,000	$	105	$	895


Total		$	2,982	$	405	$	2,577

We recorded approximately $89,000 and $56,000 in straight-line amortization expense of intangibles for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and approximately $200,000 and $168,000 in straight-line amortization expense of intangibles for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, as research and development and general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. We will record the amortization of customer relationships as a general and administrative expense. We will continue to record the amortization of the Support Vector Machine (SVM) technology, the Laboratory developed tests (LDT) technology and the Flow Cytometry and Cytogenetics technology intangibles as a research and development expense until the time that we have products, services or cost savings directly attributable to these intangible assets that would require that it be recorded in cost of goods sold.

The estimated amortization expense related to amortizable intangible assets for each of the five succeeding fiscal years and thereafter as of September 30, 2014 is as follows (in thousands):


Year Ending December 31,
Remainder of 2014	$	92
2015		366
2016		366
2017		366
2018		366
2019		366
Thereafter		2,314
