Gerald; This is in line with my earlier estimates for PGM assays, plus the time to clear the queue of others. Most labs have a 'rush' procedure where they dedicate a tech to the procedure to proceed with each step as fast as reactivity will allow, and of course they charge a premium for this, and might even refuse it if their rush techs are fully time booked. The 'rush' does not mean shoddy work, just taking all the waiting steps out of the loop. And some labs do not offer it due to tech shortages or other reasons. The premium might be quite substantial for this service as it does completely take over one persons time(obviously a 7 day extraction is not watched like a mother hen for 7 days) One might expect this to be a 'rush' situation. However if there are 2000 samples, at a $100 per sample premium, they might not use it. Bill
