Based upon the response we are gaining from the commercial market, from the small amount of efficacy research we have for our ThermoMax product, as opposed to before when we did not have any, I am at last convinced that if BD wants to enter the mainstream it HAS to provide 3rd party data of the efficacy of its products and more difficultly its processes.
Efficacy of products looks like the place to start . Does it - this or that prep- work or not. These are surprisingly affordable tests, which I now wish I undertook 10 years ago. They are not the whole bag however they at least show BD preps are not snake oil or fairy dust, and may then lead to some significant $ becoming available for more complex research, either thru attracted funding or profit from product sales. time will tell of course. cheers Glen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hugh Lovel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, April 05, 2003 2:34 PM Subject: Re: Vitality and fertility ofsoils > Dear Tony,, > > The big probelm in doing scientific studies is funding them.
