Thanks for that info. I've been trying to find out the theoritical limits to this test. I recieved some info from quantech, but received no technical info though I spent about 10 minutes explaining what I wanted to IR.
My take of what you are saying is that this technology is moderate sensitivity. They are working on making the test sensitive enough for smaller molecules, or rather specific enough to distinguish between the background noise and molecule you are trying to detect.
Maybe a better way to look at sensitivity and specificity is to look at the expensive research instruments. I haven't found the 510k for myoglobin yet.

Todd, do you know the log range of the tests? This would be important to estimate the need to diluted specimens.

The company has no money and could go bankrupt, and needs to raise money which will probably dilute the stock a lot.
