The full quote does one extra thing, it implies that buying 100+ of these machines is totally expected.
- dom_hutton 7y agoIs this marketing?
- de_watcher 7y agoBetter (or worse) marketing: "a test takes almost 2.5 hours".
- martyvis 7y agoIt's almost as if the decision makers that might buy these can't multiply by 10 very well. (Oh wait, they are probably politicians ... )
- zulln 7y agoIs that true, or is it running multiple tests partly simultaneously?
- fhars 7y agoYes, and no. In runs nine tests in parallel (like Covid-19, influenza-A, influenza-B etc), but all on the same sample.
- dx034 7y agoI'm not sure how they price these devices but it could make sense to compare against labs. The question is not how many tests a device can perform but how many tests you can perform for all available devices and at a price comparable to larger lab installations. Maybe 100 devices is a comparable rate there.
- VectorLock 7y agoLarger lab with a variety of specialized equipment and trained personnel vs. a wall of these machines; very different.
- gambiting 7y agoCan these machines do anything else after we're done with Covid-19? I assume they can run other tests?
- ksk 7y agoObviously its implied because that's the influx of patients a lot of hospitals are seeing.
