 recurring product revenue stream comprised of two proprietary consumables to capture test samples for analysis on the Growth Direct system, an Environmental Monitoring consumable, and a Water/Bioburden consumable. Both proprietary consumables support the growth-based compendial method for MQC testing mandated by global regulators and provide results that are comparable to traditional consumables. Our consumables are designed with features that enable automation on the Growth Direct system, with bar coding for tracking and data integrity, and physical characteristics for robotic handling, to support vision detection and prevent counterfeiting. 

We expect consumable revenue to increase in future periods as our base of cumulative validated Growth Direct systems grows and those systems enter routine use and utilize our consumables on a recurring, ongoing basis. In addition, greater utilization of our systems by our customers, as well as adoption by customers of new product offerings, including sterility-related consumables, is also expected to increase our consumables revenue.

LIMS Connection Software

Our LIMS connection software is a non-recurring product revenue stream. Although optional, the majority of our customers elect to purchase this software, which allows Growth Direct systems to export result reports and securely link to a customer’s two-way LIMS connection software to completely eliminate manual data entry and drive productivity.

Service revenue

We derive service revenue from validation services, field service including installations, and service contracts sold to our customers. Other than revenue from service contracts, which is recurring service revenue, revenue from all other field services as well as validation services are non-recurring service revenue streams.

We offer our customers validation services (including related documentation) that enable them to replace their existing manual testing method and utilize their Growth Direct systems in compliance with relevant MQC regulations. Validation services are recognized as revenue over time as these services are provided to the customer.

We offer our customers service contracts that can be purchased after the expiration of the one-year assurance warranty that all of our customers receive with the purchase of a Growth Direct system. Under these contracts, they are entitled to receive phone support, emergency on-site maintenance support and preventative maintenance visits. These service contracts generally have fixed fees and a term of one year. We recognize revenue from the sale of service contracts over time as these services are provided over the respective contract term.

We also offer our customers field service which primarily consists of services provided by our field service engineers to install Growth Direct systems at customer sites, perform one-time paid field service, and provide preventative maintenance service during the one-year assurance warranty period. We recognize revenue from installation services, one-time
