English term

key characteristics ...apparent.

English Tech/Engineering Medical: Pharmaceuticals
When you’re looking to maximize return on investment for multi-year pharmaceutical discovery and development projects, key characteristics of your laboratory resources become apparent. You need reliable instrumentation, Stable scientific technology partners, Chemistries and service plans that will remain consistent over the long term.

The " key characteristics ...apparent." does not seem relevant to me in the paragraph, can somebody explain it to me with plain English. :-)

TIA!!!

key characteristics that you need come into focus

When you’re looking to maximize return on investment...key characteristics of your laboratory resources become apparent. Chop out the stuff in the middle (not literally) and the meaning becomes clearer. I think it would read better if you switched apparent with "important". The meaning is that as you take a look at maximizing your resources, the following characteristic's importance becomes apparent. You need reliable instrumentation, Stable scientific technology partners, Chemistries and service plans that will remain consistent over the long term.

"reliable instrumentation, Stable scientific technology partners, Chemistries and service plans"

The key characteristics of the laboratory resources - would include reliable instrumentation, Stable scientific technology partners, Chemistries and service plans.

These characteristics would have an apparent (OBVIOUS) impact on the return on investments.
