ITS AN OPERATING PLATFORM FOR TESTING I'm told that the Luminex process is a operating platform from which many molecular reactions (tests) can be observed simultaneously in miniture. The devise samples thousands of tiny treated beads each second which are drawn from the test material. It reaches testing conclusions in minutes and is very quick and inexpensive. Luminex intends to make its revenues from selling the beads in custom arrays to all kinds of people for all kinds of uses. Think razor and razor blades. Imagine what an emergency room could do with three or four dozen test results in 15 minutes or so for a couple of bucks. How would the hospital practice change if you knew alot about the anonymous patient coming in on the stretcher before treatment? And what changes in the truly dismal economics of a commercial clinical lab would you affect with a fast, inexpensive, multiplexing system for testing blood and urine with results which which could be transmitted instantly over the internet. It boggles the mind! Regards, ------#ham
