PSIDD new technology can process tons of samples:

Firefly is being designed as a disposable, cartridge-based system to process a variety of sample types, including whole blood, buccal and nasopharyngeal swabs, urine, and environmental field samples. The incorporated, multiplex polymerase chain reaction ("PCR") assay is being designed to analyze for multiple, user-defined targets from a single sample. Furthermore, by taking advantage of the TaqMan®-based PCR assay and real-time detection, Firefly is being designed to measure altered gene expression levels such as those observed in endocrine diseases, radiation exposure, and cancer. Results can be immediately obtained and processed wherever you are via a smart-phone interface (or personal computer) with a specialized, mobile application and cloud-based data sharing and storage.
