Thanks.
They should be bothered about the drop off in performance, when comparing Mologic and Avacta. But clearly won’t be bothered if Mologic is half the money.
The use case will be exactly the same. Open up workplaces and the economy. The requirement is exactly the same, therefore should be using the test that allows the most efficient route to maximising this benefit.
Having tests targeting different proteins is not a valid reason until either fails to detect a variant. Performance will not be improved, it only adds redundancy.
We can speculate all we like, but it’ll come down to price.
