New device will detect infections, cancer in minutes

There is one on eBay for $160 right now.

Yes, I'm not disputing that cheap PCR machines can be found on eBay...I'm saying buyer beware, and I'm skeptical about the value he placed on the whole kit. I wouldn't buy a brand new Porsche 911 Carrera for $150 and expect it to accelerate 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds.

What if you dropped that $150 Porsche out of a plane?8O

We are naturally suspicious of devices and methods that are new and the reason is simple.
Remember the musical, where the guy is singing about a cure right here in River City?
I always approach the future knowing there is change coming and change will always happen.
I hope the results prove out it would save a lot of human misery but having a machine like this
would allow the medical community to do so much more with less.
