Thanks so much Hyperopia.
The great thing about all the posters here is that people like yourself have answers to many of the questions people like me ask.
As the FlaskWorks unit is approved perhaps we'll learn just how great its creation really is. I believe it truly can make the difference between our DCVax's having a very limited treatment audience and it becoming the new paradigm in treating all sorts of solid cancers I believe it could be.
As complex as you're making the disposable cassette sound, I've got to believe it's cost will not be that great if the volume of the units needed is quite high. If only GBM patients are being treated with DCVax's it would certainly only require a tiny fraction of the total cassettes needed if the DCVax's are ultimately used in most solid cancer. I don't know whether the cassette cost is in the hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands or more for each cassette, but suspect that if St. Gobain's is making hundreds of thousand or more annually, the price would probably be in the hundreds of dollars, or even less. I certainly welcome your thoughts, or others more familiar with what's involved as well as to how great the cost will be. I'm also curious whether in disposing of the cassettes any part of them could be retained for use in others, like sensors and wiring that never contact the vaccine, or if all is simply sacrificed. I would hope that material in the cassettes could be reused, rather than becoming landfill, but I don't know that will be the case.
