Product Revenue Dynamics: The increase in product revenue was driven by timing of customer orders, while the decrease in R&D revenue was primarily due to lower, non-recurring items, including for biotherapeutics program that we previously discontinued.

R&D Expense Reduction: R&D expenses for the third quarter of 2024 were $11.5 million compared to $13.7 million last year, reflecting continued benefit of the expense control actions we took last year resulting in a 16% year-over-year reduction.
