SK does 10.000 tests per day with test kits which they could quickly produce but which involve a lot of manual steps and hence man power. You could replace all that with 2.5 of these huge Roche machines. So for really high throughput you absolutely need those huge machines, everything else simply does not scale. Of course you need a stockpile of reagents, but manual test kits need these as well and AFAIK those are fairly standard.
