Transcription: The BioServe Instrumentation Technology Associates Materials Dispersion Apparatus, or BIMDA, is a self-contained mini-lab capable of mixing variations of up to 100 chemical samples. Its purpose was to assess the commercial potential of biomedical manufacturing in a microgravity atmosphere. The lab gathered data on 200 separate experiments in such fields as protein crystal growth, seed germination, and virus structures.
