With their own equipment? I don't believe so. Theranos as a company could reliably do this... they just did it with Siemens equipment with the labels removed.

It would be, were it possible. Not that we can't find things to be possible that were previously thought not to be, but this is pretty well established biology, and has been steadily researched for decades by both academia and industry (all of the big lab players would love it if they could do droplet analysis)... if there is an advance there, it's a pretty safe bet to say it was never coming from a 19 yo freshman chem eng dropout.
