They haven't identified the time it takes to make an actual non-prototype cGMP Flaskworks machine either. "Several months" can easily equal 36+ months.

Gary,
One FlaskWorks Eden unit would still need about 7 days to grow/develop Dendritic Cells. It is limited to the characteristics of Dendritic Cells itself. I knew this after reading the commentaries from scientists who were doing the research on this topic. They said these cells tend to stick to the surface of plastic or glass for 7 days. Of course there is additional secret sauces employed. But those are just tweaking here and there and may not take a long time I think. To increase the capacity, Nwbo can employ more Flaskworks/Eden devices. I believe the cost of each Eden Unit is not going to cause an arm and legs. Probably between $5000 to $10000 per device. I believe it is justifiable to add more Eden devices when demands are very strong. Because the retail price of FlaskWorks unit (Before FlaskWorks was bought by NWBO) was sold for around $15000 to $20000. So it is appropriate I believe if Nwbo develops or contracts the equipment to others, the cost might be about a half of the retail price.
