What was Jon Stewart like off camera?

That is good to hear. I really enjoy his show and I like to think he is a genuinely good person.

  1. What extraction platform are you using?

  2. What Thermocycler are you using?

  3. Is the test multiplexed and if so what dyes are you using?

  4. What size plate are you using and how many patients can you fit on a plate?

  5. How do you report results?

  6. How is your backlog and how long does it take to get results out of your lab when a specimen arrives?

ETA: I see from your proof you are running a LAMP assay. Are you running the commercial assay offered by NEB? What controls are you running? Do you have any data on the sensitivity of your LAMP assay vs the traditional real-time PCR?

Can you show a screenshot of the readout? I have never heard of a LAMP assay being read by peaks since the product sizes vary so much. Does a negative reaction have one peak and positive COVID have two? Maybe the manufactures website has more detail?

What all do you test for? Just COVID or do you have a human control too?
