“XVIVO has always responded promptly to our questions and comments. Most importantly, XVIVO created the animation that Dr. Mullis wished for — a fluid, organic visualization of his spectacularly simple process. We presented the animation during Dr. Mullis’s direct examination on the first day of trial, and it created a momentum that carried through the 4-week trial to an overwhelming victory at the end.”
