The ERP agreed that this is an excellent method, however, they will require some SLV data prior to making a decision to move this method to First Action Official Methods of Analysis SM status.

First Action Requirements:

MOTION to approve the first action requirements as presented for SKY-001 (Krueger/Zhang) 8 in favor, 0 opposed, 0 abstentions. The motion passed.

- Data from 29 samples in each panel will produce sufficient statistical data. - Materials should be authenticated with another method. Microscopy is a reasonable method to use for authentication.
