One thing that brings MMTC assurance for success is that NMU is standing behind the MIT 1000 and touting joy. Kaylagh Hollen is presently working with the project team. For anyone new to MMTC, you may want to refer to her website for a look-see into the performance of the MIT 1000:

"IMS will be utilized for rapid S. aureus capture and light scattering technology will be used to rapidly identify. In order to rapidly isolate S. aureus, magnetic beads will be bound to S. aureus-specific antibodies. The beads and antibodies can be added to a patient’s swab sample where they will bind S. aureus cells. After S. aureus capture, the sample will be magnetically separated in order to isolate S. aureus from other cells present in the sample. After isolating the captured cells, an enrichment step is necessary in order to increase the number of S. aureus cells to a detectable concentration for laser light scattering analysis. The captured cells will then be tested using laser light scatting technology and identified as S. aureus. To summarize the rapid protocol for S. aureus capture, isolation, and identification:
S. aureus capture- 1.5 hours
Enrichment: 1-3 hours

Laser light scattering identification: 5 minutes
The combination of these techniques could identify S. aureus in 3-6 hours as opposed to current culture-based methods which take up to 24-48 hours. Developing a rapid method to accurately identify S. aureus, could potentially reduce the time to administer proper treatment."

I don't think the NSF is a wrong guess for coming research and sales for the MIT 1000. However, there are much bigger doors than even this.
