After being concentrated?

  Usually not, actually, although some more complicated tests do involve sample prep. For most tests, it's a small microfluidic cartridge and a tiny amount of blood.

    I would remain skeptical about this claim. There are a lot of exploratory tests that can be done with a drop of blood and have a solid history behind, for more complicated tests we would fall again in a "Theranos magic" case. I hope that the investors finally learn their lesson and accepted that if you want to produce good results you need to starting with good data. In science there is not sense in finding the minimum algorithm possible that vomits the desired results. Alive beings are complicated So either the claim that somebody is building the nbext theranos machine or recycling theranos machines for doing what theranos couldn't... either is false, or is just old technology wrapped in glitter, or would send serious doubts in the confidence in the results. It depends on the details.
