15 months ago I predicted the cost for PCR machines would fall quickly from the $13,000 I spent on mine to affordable for home use. But I totally failed to predict we’d have single-use disposable molecular tests in little more than a year! https://x.com/RickByersLab/status/1393219385469325313

This is a Check-It (https://www.lucirahealth.com/) RT-LAMP device. Looks like 8 wells (only 6 illuminated), 2 positive controls and a CCD sensor for taking a photo of the colorimetric reaction. Seems so wasteful to be disposable but super cool!
