[Viktor is not a biologist. He's barely a chemist--sure, he knows some of the basics, given his time at the Academy, but his area of study is, generally speaking, cold hard mathematics. Physics. His engineering know-how will only get him so far, in a situation like this.
And he's squeamish, when it comes to working on animals, even mice, but Alucard is right in that plants aren't relevant to what they're doing right now, and they can't safely progress to experimenting on him. That was part of the deal--slow, methodical. Taking no risks. Despite his dire situation, Viktor wants to respect that. He owes Alucard that much.
Alucard puts Quincy back in his cage and Viktor takes the vial gingerly, slotting it into a centrifuge. They'll have a few minutes while it spins, which he uses to take some notes of his own.]
If there was a way to guarantee the regenerative property--
