Re: A very useful device for a 2 yr. Mars mission

Continuous end-to-end synthesis in the refrigerator-sized [1.0 meter (width) × 0.7 meter (length) × 1.8 meter (height)] system produces sufficient quantities per day to supply hundreds to thousands of oral or topical liquid doses of diphenhydramine hydrochloride, lidocaine hydrochloride, diazepam, and fluoxetine hydrochloride that meet U.S. Pharmacopeia standards

So no real meantion of mass ,or power consumption to make it work....

To me this sounds like a good item to give for a remote location such as Antartica where its difficult to transport items to those living there.
