I'm Dennis Keller, Vice President with Morgan Stanley. Happy to be hosting BioStem Technologies with us today. Jason Matuszewski, CEO. Before we dive in, I just want to note for important disclosures, please see the Morgan Stanley Research Disclosure website, MorganStanley.com, Research Disclosures. If you have any questions, please reach out to your Morgan Stanley sales rep. With that, let's get started. Thanks for being here, Jason. With some investors maybe not up to speed on the company, can you spend the first minute or two just giving us a quick overview of the company and your core technology?</doc> <doc id='2'>Speaker0 Sure. First and foremost, thank you, Dennis, for having us here. I really appreciate the first opportunity to speak at the Morgan Stanley Global Healthcare Conference. Great opportunity. BioStem Technologies, we are a profitable medtech company focused in advanced wound care. Our core technology is BioREtain®. It's a proprietary technology that we process placental-based tissue allografts for the advanced wound care space, specifically looking at treating diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, and venous leg ulcers. This patient population is roughly about 7 million Medicare beneficiaries and a total market of about $11.3 billion in the advanced wound care space.</doc> <doc id='3'>Speaker1 Great. What is the BioREtain® process exactly, and how would you compare it to alternatives in the market? Speaker0 Yeah, I think, you know, it's definitely differentiated. We've published some real-world data so far on the BioREtain® process. We actually retain a large portion of the natural elements of the tissue, including the extracellular matrix, some of the growth factors and cytokines that are naturally found in placental-based tissue. As I mentioned earlier, our real-world data demonstrated that we, with the BioREtain® process, these allografts have supported a less number of applications to close a wound as well as less time to close a wound.</doc> <doc id='4'>Speaker1 Can you help us understand how you think about the addressable market today with the existing portfolio, and how that could expand over time as products get developed? Speaker0 Yeah, I think, you know, right now it's, call it the wound biologics TAM is roughly about $11.3 billion in the advanced wound care space. I think when we look at other areas of focus for BioStem, we're looking at areas like the hospital outpatient, surgical, OR suites, and things of that area where we could actually focus on leveraging our core technology of BioREtain® to those areas, as well as looking at synergistic M&A opportunities to target those areas as well.</doc> <doc id='5'>Speaker1 Help us understand the clinical data portfolio of the company, kind of key highlights from the clinical trial data set at this point.</doc> <doc id='6'>Speaker0 Yeah. Right now we're actively running three RCTs. We just finished enrollment in our first diabetic foot ulcer study, with roughly 72 patients enrolled across 10 sites. We're looking to report out data on that diabetic foot ulcer study later this year. We're also enrolling patients in two additional studies, one in the venous leg ulcer space, same number of sites, roughly about 10, and similar patient population size, about 60 patients. A secondary diabetic foot ulcer study on our AmnioWrap2â"¢, our BRAM trial, is just solely focusing on the amnion layer of the placenta. Similar size trial, roughly 60 patients across 10 sites. The last two trials we're aiming to get readouts kind of the mid to beginning of mid to next year on those two trials.</doc> <doc id='7'>Speaker1 Great. I guess pivoting to the partnership with Venture Medical, it's been a key driver for the business. Can you help us understand kind of just at a high level what the partnership brings and how we should think about the partnership on a go-forward basis? Speaker0 Yeah, I think the partnership has been instrumental in our growth. Definitely a story from, you know, 2022 to 2024. 2023 was roughly about $16.9 million top line revenue, 2024 over $300 million. We entered into that partnership with Venture Medical in late 2023. The partnership really represented both their recognition of our BioREtain® process and the product portfolio, and they really realized that this is a differentiated product line for the advanced wound care market.</doc> <doc id='8'>What we saw in Venture Medical is they've developed a software platform called OneView, and we felt that that was a really amazing platform to support providers not only from a compliance perspective, but also from a cash flow management perspective on managing where claims are and how to appropriately process those claims and really help and support those providers, especially when we're talking about their core focus in the mobile wound care segment as well as physician office segment. Those are areas where they're smaller groups, right? They're not institutionalized hospitals, large organizations where they have the infrastructure to support that cash flow management side of the business as well as the compliance side. I think it was a really good synergistic opportunity between both groups. We kicked off with over 100 FTEs into the field on day one.</doc> <doc id='9'>The opportunity to really scale very quickly with the commercial team on day one was a great opportunity. They came over from an existing product line as well, a placental-based tissue product line. It was a quick study for their reps and their team to get out and go to work, and that's kind of what's led to the success of late 2023 and into 2024 and what it is today.</doc> <doc id='10'>Speaker1 Excellent. As you think about your commercial strategy on a go-forward basis, what are the puts and takes relative to going direct versus your distribution channel? Speaker0 Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, obviously, which we haven't really got to yet is some of the headwinds around reimbursement and some of those struggles, or opportunities, I should say, coming forward. I think when we look at the model with Venture Medical and the opportunity that we've had in an exclusive partnership to really capitalize on the mobile wound care segment, physician office segment, you know, as we go into 2026, I think some things may change in regards to how we look at commercializing the product. You know, we are looking to internalize some of the commercial team on the core focus in hospital, OR, and into the federal space, so VADOD. I think the hybrid model where Venture has really demonstrated their knowledge and success in the mobile wound care segment will continue to leverage that partnership and continue to hopefully flourish.</doc> <doc id='11'>Speaker1 Now, a good segue to reimbursement. You've got proposed changes to CMS or PPS fee schedule, which were published in mid-July for skin substitutes. Some uncertainty around the final pricing for the products. What will the competitive landscape kind of look like moving forward? Can you share your perspectives on what these changes mean for you short term and maybe medium term from a market opportunity perspective? Speaker0 Yeah, sadly, we only have 27 minutes left. It's a long topic for sure. It's somewhat contested. There's a lot of changes potentially coming up. I think ultimately, I think these are good changes, right? I think this administration, along with leadership at CMS and HHS and even, frankly, even in the medical community, KOLs in the space like Dr. Bill Pettibuck and others have really kind of called out and said, "Look, there needs to be reform here." I think we have a runaway spend specifically utilizing the ASP plus six methodology that products are being priced at in the physician office and mobile wound care space, which aren't really tied to the</doc> <doc id='12'>payment structure that we find in HOPD and ASC, where it's a bucketed rate, right? This new OPPS and PFS, physician fee schedule, and outpatient physician fee schedule, are trying to align those things.</doc> <doc id='13'>We have a kind of continuous payment methodology for product across all sites of service. Looking at where we end up with specific placement reimbursement outside of product, it kind of gleans towards more of the traditional pass-through methodology that you've probably seen in the past. I think it's going to hopefully normalize this industry. I know wound care has been a struggle on ever-changing dynamics around reimbursement. I'm hopeful that ultimately we see a normalization past 2026. I am a little concerned about the low initial price that they propose, about $125. I think that ends up being a challenge for mobile wound care providers to service patients that have an underserved community or rural areas where they don't have access to get into a clinic and need that mobile wound care provider to get out to them and treat their wound.</doc> <doc id='14'>I'm hopeful that we see a price increase from that $125 number. We'll be actively commenting through the comment process. I think it ends on the 12th, so near term here. Hopeful to see what the outcome is in November as well on the final price for effective January 2026.</doc> <doc id='15'>Speaker1 As that process kind of moves forward, can you help us think through milestones such as clinical data and where you could have kind of more visibility for reimbursement that could come into effect at that time? Speaker0 Yeah, I mean, I think for us, we're in a new position, right? Because we do have clinical data coming out back half of this year. I think that will help substantiate our differentiation in the marketplace and say to folks, "Hey, we are a leader in this space, right? We're committed to this space. We're committed to investing in the clinical trial to demonstrate the purity of our product." I'm hopeful that driving that clinical data along with other initiatives creates more of a long-term initiative for our organization.</doc> <doc id='16'>Speaker1 Great. I guess pivoting to the business in the first half of 2025, you reported $121.8 million in revenue, which is up 5% year on year. Can you break down kind of the growth drivers in terms of expanding accounts, driving higher utilization with your existing users? Speaker0 Yeah, a combination of both. I think we saw some good utilization within the existing accounts. Frankly, looking to expand into areas geographically, you know, Venture Medical is kind of core to the West Coast, west of the Mississippi. We're looking to target some of the east marketplace for these products. Really trying to partner with more sophisticated long-term partnership as we bridge from this ASP plus six methodology into the new methodology and really looking for mobile wound care providers, specifically on the Venture side, as well as physician office folks that want to be here long term. It would be great partners that really value the technology and value how BioREtain® supports their patients in closing wounds. We're looking forward to seeing where that growth goes and continues to grow.</doc> <doc id='17'>I think there's other opportunities for us, specifically from a growth driver perspective, that come where maybe M&A opportunities come along or other areas to diversify into other segments, like I alluded to earlier in the hospital outpatient and the OR space.</doc> <doc id='18'>Speaker1 If you think about your current product suite and some of the selling points that are most attractive to the clinical community, could you walk through some of those? Speaker0 Sorry, can you ask? Speaker1</doc> <doc id='19'>Yeah, some of the selling points of the products that are most attractive to the clinical community.</doc> <doc id='20'>Speaker0 Yeah, I mean, obviously the BioREtain® process is definitely very attractive to them. I think what they've seen, at least initially on the real-world data, like I kind of alluded to earlier about less number of applications and quicker time to heal on very hard-to-heal wounds, that's very attractive to providers that really want to utilize a product that's going to get some of these hard-to-heal wounds. I think even frankly, you know, it's great to hear testimonials from providers that say, "Hey, I've been using a synthetic product or another competitor product. I've been trying to treat this patient. You know, we're going on 12 months, 18 months. We still have not gotten this wound closed. And we were able to use your product in three or four applications to get the wound closed, right?" It's extremely satisfying and gratifying in a way, right, to hear that.</doc> <doc id='21'>Yeah, it's kind of cool.</doc> <doc id='22'>Speaker1 Yeah, it seems like if you had those kind of referenceable proof points, you'd use those with the next center and kind of get the keeps giving.</doc> <doc id='23'>Speaker0 Yeah, and I think I hope, you know, going forward, at least, you know, with the readout of the RCT, that will also be more of a validating point, right? Some of these real-world data sets or real-world data patients aren't as compliant as when you're running a clinical trial, right? Getting a patient to be compliant is some of the biggest challenge in wound care, right? Getting a patient to come in, offload, do some of the things that are necessary for a proper blood flow and making sure that they're not continuing to propagate a wound. When you're in a more rigorous clinical trial, it's a lot easier to kind of hold some of those variables a little closer.</doc> <doc id='24'>Speaker1 even for the diabetic foot ulcer and the venous leg ulcers? Speaker0 Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.</doc> <doc id='25'>Speaker1 Interesting. I guess stepping back, can you help us think through the growth trajectory over the next few years? Speaker0 Yeah.</doc> <doc id='26'>Speaker1 As a company? Speaker0 I think obviously going into 2026, we'll kind of have a reset based on the framework of reimbursement. I think that will also lend itself to really get some clarity around what does growth look like over the next four to six years. I think for us, we'll continue to kind of drive adoption of our existing BioREtain® platform in the mobile wound care space, hospital outpatient space, look to start getting involved onto GPO agreements, IDN agreements into the hospital setting, and look at other sites of service within, or frankly, call points within the hospital system, not so focused in chronic wound, but more gravitating to some of the acute wound space as well. I think there's a lot of M&A opportunities within this space as well.</doc> <doc id='27'>I think values are suppressed and some really nice targets that will kind of expand what I always say is the continuum of care, areas where we don't have a product that touches a patient across that value stream, and</doc> <doc id='28'>where we are currently kind of at the end of that continuum of care where all these other products didn't work on that patient and were a product of last resort. It'd be great to have an opportunity to expand our product portfolio and be able to service a patient on day one and hopefully on day wound closure.</doc> <doc id='29'>Speaker1 Really exciting. How would you evaluate where you are at from a market share perspective now, and then where you expect that to go over time? Speaker0 Yeah, no, it's a great question. I mean, as I kind of alluded to, it's $10.3 billion. It's a very large market. We delivered just over $300 million last year, so somewhat small and diminished, I guess, in the overall market opportunity. I think, like I said, we'll see how things suss out, you know, moving forward from 2026 and how that changes not only the TAM, but also, you know, who's left and who's interested in being a long-term player in this space. We'll continue to try to drive the BioREtain® message and, as I alluded to, getting into the hospital and things of that nature hopefully drives that as well.</doc> <doc id='30'>Speaker1 I guess if you look at it slightly differently, how many relevant accounts are out there, and how do you expect to kind of incrementally penetrate those accounts over time, recognizing the backdrop? Speaker0 I think ultimately, as I kind of alluded to, there's roughly about 7 million Medicare patients out there with a chronic wound. That number is growing exponentially as well. The problem isn't going away. I think when we look at how many patients we ultimately are not currently addressing right now just due to the market dynamics of high ASP products and other things, I think there's still a decent amount of market opportunity in the mobile wound care physician

Very excited to have Quidel Ortho joining us today. From the company we have the CFO, Joe Buske. So Joe, thanks so much for joining us. I think we're gonna dive right into Q and A so if anyone has a question, feel free to send them to session3rwbear dot com and I will pass them along.</doc> <doc id='2'>So Joe, thought maybe we could just start at a high level. Can you just talk about key takeaways from the quarter and maybe how your strategic vision for the company is unfolding here? Speaker1 Sure. And by the way, thanks, Katherine. Thanks for having us to the conference. It's been great. And as far as that first question on highlights from Q2, I would say that we've now had two good quarters in a row to start off 2025 with good margin improvement of 400 plus basis point margin improvement over the prior year.</doc> <doc id='3'>I think we also showed that we've made some strategic decisions in line with what Brian and I said we were wanna do fifteen months ago when he started. And, examples of that would be we we announced that we're closing a very large manufacturing facility in Raritan, New Jersey, which is gonna provide some real nice operating margin improvement in a couple years. And we made the decision to pivot from Savannah development of molecular product to Lex, which is a business in UK that we're going to purchase once they get FDA approval for their first respiratory panel. And so again these decisions are just all around margin improvement and making the company more productive and more efficient. Again, things that Brian and I said we were gonna do last year when he when he started.</doc> <doc id='4'>I guess the last thing I'd mention is that the base business continues to grow in at the rate which we said it would grow, you know, in that sort of mid single digit growth for labs and immunohematology.</doc> <doc id='5'>Speaker0 Yeah, I want to get into Lexin a bit, but maybe starting on the lab side of the business. You know, to your point, recurring revenue growth remained solid to start the year. You know, where do you think you're winning in the clinical chemistry business? Speaker1 Yeah, the strategy with labs continues a strategy that was started probably about five or so years ago, and that is to focus on the small to mid size hospital and labs, which we define as our sweet spot. You know, we're doing quite well there. I would say the other strategy is to focus on leading with integrated analyzers that runs both routine chemistry and immunoassays. And, you know, that strategy continues to be the one that we're gonna employ and it's it's working quite well. And, you know, the growth in the labs business continues to be right where we said it would be in that mid single digit growth range.</doc> <doc id='6'>Speaker0 What about on the instrumentation side? You know, how's the current capital equipment environment? Speaker1 Yeah, I don't see a lot of impact of customers pausing on placing analyzers due to the macro. And I think it's mainly because the the value of the analyzers we're placing is much less than, say, an MRI or imaging piece of equipment that's, you know, millions and millions of dollars. I think I think our purchase the equipment purchases that our customers are making kind of fly below the radar to some extent. We also offer, like our competitors do, an alternative to to buying an instrument, and that is a reagent rental where we can place an analyzer at a customer location and charge them the cost of the box over the life of the contract in the form of a surcharge on the consumables. So that's a way of kind of getting around maybe CapEx limitations that a customer may have.</doc> <doc id='7'>Speaker0 And how important is the automation element to customers? You know, how has your integrated analyzer kind of helped in this environment? And I think it's around a third of your installed base now, so how do you think that will track over time? Speaker1 Yeah, for sure automation and the integrated analyzers are super important to our customers and to our strategy of growing the labs business. In fact, you look at the automation, or I should say the growth in the automation and installed base over the last several years, it's typically been in the high single digits and low double digits as indicative of the strategy working. You know, we continue to lead with that integrated analyzer which is going to drive more higher margin immunoassay revenue growth for us. And that's important because if you look at our business relative to where the market is, our mix of immunoassay and routine chemistry is inverted from where the overall market is. And so there's lots of room for us to grow that immunoassay side of the business.</doc> <doc id='8'>And in fact, if you look at our percentage of installed base that's integrated versus nonintegrated, if you go back to when Ortho Clinical Diagnostics went public in 2021, we were around 24% of the base was integrated, and now we're sitting at around 30% of that base, installed base, being integrated. So you can kind of get a feel for the pace of which we're moving and employing that strategy and you can also get a feel for how much room is left to run, how much we can run this strategy out. There's plenty of runway left.</doc> <doc id='9'>Speaker0 And in terms of that kind of immunoassay mix, I guess where do you see the biggest opportunities in the portfolio to keep driving that? Speaker1 Yeah, good question. I think that if you look at where the labs growth is, you know, in the more developed markets of The US and Western Europe, you'll see more, you know, low to mid single digit growth. But when you look in less developed areas like Latin America and Asia Pacific and Eastern Europe, you'll see more high single digits, sometimes low double digit growth. And so we I I look towards those lesser developed markets of Eastern Europe and Asia Pac as the areas where I think there's lots of opportunity for us to to grow that integrated analyzer base and grow that immunoassay business.</doc> <doc id='10'>Speaker0 And if we move on to molecular, you know, how does the planned Flex acquisition kind of expand your footprint there and maybe talk through the strategic rationale for pursuing that route instead of continuing with Savannah.</doc> <doc id='11'>Speaker1 Yeah, it was a really tough decision that we made back in June to pivot from developing Savannah to Lex. Savannah had been a product that Quidel had been working on prior to the combination with ortho for many years and it's it's it's a great product. Savannah, I think, has a lot of potential competitive advantages in the marketplace, but Lex also has some very distinct competitive advantages in the marketplace where we intend to sell it and those advantages I would say are focused on turnaround time, ease of use and cost. And so the decision was made to pivot to Lex primarily because if you look at the amount of time it would take to fill out the menu, the amount of cost it would take to fill out the menu, and the level of technical risk, which is much less in a product like Lex, we decided to discontinue Savannah and focus our resources on Lex because again, we think we can get that menu filled out much faster and for much less cost and a lot less risk. And so we believe that the first panel which was submitted to the FDA which is a respiratory panel in June, we believe that we will get approval for that panel sometime later this year.</doc> <doc id='12'>Speaker0 And maybe what's the timeline for menu expansion there into other respiratory or women's health applications? Just curious, you know, how much there is an opportunity outside of that initial panel.</doc> <doc id='13'>Speaker1 Yeah, there's lots of opportunity to fill out that menu. I think first we'll focus on RSV and strep being added to the panel and then women's health and STI will be next. More to come on specific timelines but yeah, there's plenty of opportunity to fill up that menu and expand.</doc> <doc id='14'>Speaker0 And how do you think about, you know, the overlap with kind of the rest of your portfolio? Is there any potential cannibalization for Sofia? Speaker1 The good news is is that the Lex product can be commercialized through the existing sales force. So there's no need to add any resources to commercialize Lex as we move into early twenty six. They're based on the customer research that we've done, the KOLs we've talked to, we believe there's plenty of room for both a rapid antigen test like Sofia and a molecular product like Lex. And there is some some overlap but I would say it's not not significant at all. It's probably, you know, 10% or less of of overlap and and even that amount of overlap is not overly concerning for us because if there are customers who'd rather use Lex rather than Savannah, the Lex margins are higher.</doc> <doc id='15'>And so that would be some minor amounts of cannibalization that I'd probably welcome from a margin perspective.</doc> <doc id='16'>Speaker0 And you've talked about kind of reinvesting some of your Savannah dollars into Lex, you know, where are those investments mainly concentrated this year and kinda what additional steps are you taking to prepare for that kind of limited commercial launch in the first half of next year? Speaker1 Yeah, we're definitely excited about getting approval on that first panel later this year so we can start a limited commercialization in this first and second quarter twenty six respiratory season. As I said a minute ago, really no need for any additional commercial resources. We've got everything we need. Being the leader in respiratory testing in The US, we've got all the commercial resources that we need to sell that product. I guess the most near term investments might be in the form of not too significant CapEx that will be needed to increase the manufacturing capacity for Lex.</doc> <doc id='17'>There is a line that the company has in The UK right now but will need an additional line either somewhere in The UK again or in The US. Haven't decided that yet but that will be something that will stand up pretty early in '26 so that we can hit the late in the '26, early twenty seven respiratory season with a much more fulsome rollout and commercialization.</doc> <doc id='18'>Speaker0 Okay. And then on point of care, you you lowered the 2025 outlook for COVID revenue coming out of the second quarter. Can you just remind us of the seasonality baked in for the third and fourth quarter and maybe just given the trends that you've seen so far this year, you know, how you think about forecasting, you know, endemic COVID revenues longer term? Speaker1 Yeah. COVID's been been quite the ride. And I I know that there's been a lot of focus on the on the decline of the COVID revenue over the last several years, but I do believe that as a headline conclusion, we've digested most of that decline. When you think about where we were in '21 and '22 with a billion 4 of COVID revenue that's dropped to 400,000,000 and then a 185,000,000 last year, you know, the guidance this year is for 70 to a 100. And if you just pick the midpoint of of that, somewhere you in the mid eighties, I think that's a realistic, very realistic point of of where where the declines end.</doc> <doc id='19'>And, you know, and I can say that with with some confidence because all of the the government order revenue is is gone and the retail business is is fairly small at this point. There's not a whole lot lot left. So most of what's left is the professional use space revenue which has proven to be somewhat consistent and durable. And so we do think that that, you know, call it that midpoint of the 70 to a 100 is probably a good place to think that not only we're gonna end up this year, but where we're gonna go for the next next several years with COVID revenue. So I think all of these views of revenue of ex COVID that we've done for the past couple years, think we're we're really getting to the end of that, which is great news, I know, the buy side and sell side.</doc> <doc id='20'>Speaker0 Yep. Absolutely. Maybe any thoughts on the upcoming flu season? Are there any clues from the Southern Hemisphere around, you know, what this upcoming season could look like relative to historical trends? Speaker1 Yeah. The flu season in the Southern Hemisphere is always a good data point for us and that flu season has turned out to be one that I would define as more typical or average. And so that's good because that's what we've said all along this year is that our guidance for flu revenue is gonna be a typical or average season. And we define that as flu season in terms of volume, 50 to 55,000,000 tests, and the combo test mix being greater than 50% and steady market share. So the new model that we've gone to to project the flu revenue that we went to in '24 has proven out to be a good one.</doc> <doc id='21'>You know, we very close, almost I would say spot on to what we guided the street to for the first half of the year for flu revenue. And so we have a lot of confidence that where we are for the second half of this year is going to be pretty close as well. And and, you know, what we're seeing is that the the patterns for the flu season are getting back to more predictable pre pandemic patterns. The the level of testing is up versus pre pandemic mainly because of the combo test, and we think that combo test is pretty durable given that it's been over 50% of our flu revenue now for two plus years. And so, you know, I think that flu season is, the flu season revenue is getting a little more predictable.</doc> <doc id='22'>So we feel good about where the guidance is for the second half of the year.</doc> <doc id='23'>Speaker0 Yeah. Maybe shifting to transfusion medicine, you know, how should we think about that business following the U. Donor screening wind down and, you know, what's your view on the growth outlook there? Speaker1 Yeah, so as a reminder, the transfusion medicine business unit for us is comprised of the donor screening business, which is primarily the business of screening for infectious disease in the blood supply donations. And we decided to shut down, wind down that business last year because it is a small market, It's lower growth and it's it's got lower margins compared to the rest of our businesses. So we decided to wind it down last year. And, you know, last year we did about a 120,000,000 of revenue. This year it'll be probably 40 to 50,000,000 of revenue.</doc> <doc id='24'>And this business will be fully wound down in early twenty six. And so again, that revenue headwind of the donor screening wind down, which we've had all year, which is down about 40% in the first half of the year, that headwind will go away in the first half of next year and we won't be dealing with that anymore. And the top line revenue growth will be made up more of the base business, which we see as a mid single digit growth business. The other business within transfusion medicine is immunohematology, and that's a business that we really like. That business is global.</doc> <doc id='25'>We're the global number one in terms of market share with that business and we do intend to continue to invest in that business going forward.</doc> <doc id='26'>Speaker0 Yeah. Okay. And maybe on China, there's been a lot of noise there for diagnostics companies, particularly this quarter. It sounds like you've been relatively insulated from some of the unbundling and VBP headwinds that</doc> <doc id='27'>others are seeing. Is that right? And are there any parts of your business that are seeing pressure there? Speaker1 I was waiting for the China questions. I knew they were coming. The we spent a lot of time on this on our last earnings call. Brian, I think, did a great job of of talking about why our business is different from others in our space in in China. And I know a lot of folks like to paint a broad brush with with the China risk, but our business is different, and here's why.</doc> <doc id='28'>First of all, we use a dry slide technology on our lab side, which none
