Wilson no idea , recall seeing ON raised 271mm for sequencing equip , they have Minion and Gridion ( may have names wrong)
But not being utilised in vans to sequence as the reports I have read are that vans are stuffed with PCR tests that are sent to central labs. My guess and purely a guess , geneotyping much faster then full sequencing, so see if its a known variant first , if not full sequencing. As to the 4 ?
Novacyt , OX Nan , Thermo and then anyones guess .
Ox Nan are prolific tweeters , don't hear much about Pcr (lamp) testing , it all seems to be about seq
