Refreshingly, Parry contests the frequently posited position that combinatorial chemistry is free of all benefit-sharing obligations, and notes the need to close the legal loophole regarding pre-CBD collections. One key conclusion is the need to develop effective means of tracing the many and extensive uses of genetic resources and derived informational products. Unfortunately, her study does not refer to the work of the CBD in this area, in particular to the ongoing study of the practicalities, feasibility and cost of certificates of origin as a means of tracing the flow of genetic resources.

In most applications, however, chilling the electrons alone is not enough: heat must also be removed from the platform that houses the detector (or sample) to be cooled. One way to do this is to thermally isolate a dielectric platform (typically, a thin membrane of silicon nitride) by micromachining techniques, and to suck the heat from it to the cooled electrons in the NIS refrigerator. This approach has previously been used7 to reduce the temperature of such an insulating apparatus by a factor of two, from 200 to 100 mK.
