I always had my suspicions about those machines they show on "House," where a vial of serum or blood is popped into the machine and out comes a printed checklist of tests run and positive or negative results.
It seems very doubtful that something like a rapid ELISA test for HIV can be done within a machine, in combination with many other tests.
