The new @PrimerdesignLtd PROmate magazines are super smart. Can tell this was clearly designed with the user in mind 😊

Only way you're going to beat Novacyt's combination of throughput and accuracy is with some massive bit of robotics...

Like a Tecan liquid handling machine (very cool kit this)

But not exactly very portable!
What's very interesting now is that PrimerDesign's Q32's, which are portable micro-engineered rapid PCR devices..

Are now being compared to high-throughput automated industrial liquid handlers 😅
These are entirely different categories of equipment.

Novacyt does supply labs, and is in-fact, as we all know, a primary supplier to AstraZeneca's huge Lighthouse lab.

They even built a custom Covid-HT test for it together.
But diagnostics needs to be decentralised now - we see that clearly.

Diagnostics should be everywhere when needed and simplified so lay people could spend a few hours reading IFUs or training videos and perform a lab accurate PCR test...
All within hours from start to finish. 30 tests even - multiplex too.

No a Q32 can't beat a second mortgage industrial liquid handler in a mega-lab 🤨
But it does empower every corner of the world to do the same job, just as accurate and with a throughput of tests per minute.

There is nothing comparable on the market now to the Q32 + PROmate workflow.
Anything else is either dumbed down to perform a single test per hour🤦‍♂️

Or sacrifices accuracy 🤦‍♂️

Or sacrifices flexibility to perform a wide range of tests 🤦‍♂️
Or sacrifices your doorway trying to fit it into your office 😬
PROmate is the future of user-friendly lab tech.

For now.

Because it looks like Novacyt has a habit of out-doing Novacyt.
