So far, it has been stable for a few weeks, and we expect the solution to be stable for quite a while longer. Furthermore, we are increasing the frequency of our checks as well to make sure we&#8217;re on top of any changes.<\/p>\n<p>Some of you have already received this new batch, but we are still looking for a few more labs to participate.
