The lyophilization process is what you do is you create a product in a liquid-based system.

And some of the liquid-based systems have a very short life because they get denatured.

They get oxidized very, very fast.

So what you do is you draw all the water out.

Okay.

It makes a powder form.

Yep.

And then what the doctors do is they add the water and inject into your body instantaneously.

Injected, right?

That's it.

So we have the life as a machines.

I have two of those machines in my lab.

You can do that right on site.

I was doing that on site, doing all this work.

You know, again, I wanted to make sure that we create, again, it's all lab servers.

We have it, but they're still expensive, right?

If I get a pharmaceutical grade machines, they're like two, $3 million for a small machine like that, right?

But even the small machines with my paycheck, $40,000 is a lot of money back then, 25 years ago.

And when I blew the machine up, I said, oh my God, I just like almost killed myself that day.

I said, what am I going to do now?
