The MIT 1000 is simple to use; is portable; can be used in the field; can be read by Cell phone and sent the cloud; is priced at $35,000; low testing costs, in pennies; needs no fingerprint of bacteria but the bacteria itself; does not depend on attached equipment; is small, taking up less lab table space; can be operated by non-bio-science degree personnel; is stand-alone laser technology; needs only 2 to 5 minutes per test for results; no expensive kits to keep buying; will eventually see better from Research & Development in target for the coming new model, and; too much more to mention. As such, the MIT 1000 has full bragging rights.
