Honest question, are you speaking from experience? We run PCRs at our company for our vaccine research and having to run them back-to-back day-in-day out, without any manual errors, is going to be super stressful for any lab. Not to mention the costs of training healthcare personnel on how to run a PCR.
Thats what seems like the difference to me. If anybody can put samples in a cartridge in a machine and get results that seems like a whole different game.
