Spanish term or phrase: elaboración (in this context)
El grosor y ***elaboración*** de las partículas del colorante implantado es lo que condiciona, pues sólo las partículas que son menores a los canales por donde van a ser eliminadas se eliminarán pasado unos días por efecto de los macrófagos.

Is this the compostition of the particles, or something like that? Thanks for your help in advance.
