Wade:

You said: "The final product may take years of efforts and cost a lot of money which is probably out of reach of 99.999% of the population."

I think they may be targeting water companies, and not the consumer himself. I hear cryptosporidium is a big problem for most water companies. When I mentioned the term "point of use," I used it incorrectly. Actually, I meant real time detection. By that I mean not having to send the water to a lab for testing, but rather running it through the detection equipment right at the water plant and knowing immediately whether or not the water is contaminated with cryptosporidium. I think that would be a very interesting use for such equipment.
