This is terrible logic. Proof why they would have been involved? Not necessary. And BTW, that link is not proof that "without the QMC HealthID there would be no..." blah, blah, blah.
QD's are currently used in diagnostic tests. As a "leader" in diagnostic testing it is reasonable to believe Innova is and was aware of that fact. Heck, we all know that! There is no evidence that QMC convinced Innova to pursue that technology and it is reasonable to conclude that Innova would pursue a next generation test using QD technology since it was a proven solution by a competitor in the market place. It would not take anything more than a quick Google search for them to determine where to source QD's in the U.S. In fact, their partners Xiamen in China were probably aware of that technology as well. So no, there is no reason to believe that without the HealthID, Innova wouldn't have contacted QMC regarding sourcing QD's, or that they wouldn't have a relationship, etc. It might be what actually happened but not the only path that gets to this point.
