marcello5, most companies currently send their samples to outside labs to reduce cost and their liability. Only the very largest organizations can afford fully staffed labs, and this is the problem. If a company must rely on outside labs for all their testing requirements, cost and time increase dramatically. Hence, the need for a low cost, rapid, reliable, and fully certified in house test. Initially, the MIT 1000 will not replace the need for outside labs. Instead, the MIT 1000 will be used as a preliminary test to identify the presence of food-borne pathogens. Companies can then move to isolate and prevent the spread of the contamination to the general public while lab tests are completed. Later, the MIT 1000, or some version of it may well expand to eliminate the need for outside testing all together. In this way, the money saved by preventing product recalls, and the subsequent lawsuits, are expected to more than compensate for equipment costs, and this is expected to greatly increase market penetration.
