Hi, Jörg Küpper from GEA here, and today I'm standing at the booth of the CPhI in the Fiera in Milano. We are showcasing our latest state-of-the-art, fully Annex 1 compliant lyophilizers alongside our automated loading and unloading systems. But even more importantly, we also bring two big innovations to the show. The first innovation is the LyoNova. LyoNova is a microwave-assisted lab-scale freeze dryer, which has the potential to reduce freeze-drying times by up to 80%. And all of this can also be tested at our lab in the facility in Elsdorf. The second big innovation is our LyoOne. LyoOne is also a lab-scale freeze dryer, but with isolator integration and as such, absolutely catering towards HPAPI testing and development in your lab area. The idea of this technology is to reduce the areas of concern when dealing with HPAPIs to a minimum, and as such, increases also the safety of your operators in the lab. So if you're at the show or if you're at home, please feel free to reach out, discuss your ideas, your challenges, and your projects with us, and we are very happy to discuss with you and also always welcome you to our new factory in Elsdorf to have a visit and see our capabilities.
