The revamped VIVID subscription plans are providing the Company with an important recurring revenue stream while providing customers with support options that fit their needs. Our machine learning VIVID model under development is showing extraordinary results and will position the VIVID as the premier automated pill counter in its class, and we are accomplishing all our goals while being mindful of the bottom line."John Moore, Chairman, said "We are seeing exciting progress at Scientific Bioprocessing as we develop our DOTS sensing platform. Our pH sensor has yielded surprising insights beyond what we originally designed it to deliver, and we have completed the first round of customer trials. Bioprocessing today still relies heavily on manual, offline sampling, which leaves scientists working from a handful of data points across days of dynamic biology. A sensing approach that delivers continuous data - and extracts more meaning from that data - is what our customers need to shorten development timelines and improve the odds of successful scale-up."About Scientific Industries, Inc.Scientific Industries (OTCQB:SCND), designs, produces, and markets bioprocessing systems under the product name DOTS, and vision-based pill counters under the VIVID® brand in addition to weighing instruments under the brand Torbal®.
