There must be lots of relatively mundane things happening in all these laboratories that when you kind of start multiplying them up, it's actually a huge footprint, isn't it?

James ConnollyGUEST
Yeah, and I would break it down into goods and services when you're talking about the lab value chain.

James ConnollyGUEST
And for some of the larger pharma companies that have measured this more detail, it's like closer to 95, 98% come from purchase goods or come from scope three with purchase goods and services making up the majority.

James ConnollyGUEST
Services, what's happening in the large biotech and pharmaceutical companies is they're actually outsourcing a lot of their research and drug development as well as manufacturing.

James ConnollyGUEST
So the services that they're purchasing are actually other laboratories that they're working with.
