So if it doesn't work at one drop, if the Theranos sensing/sampling hardware is still good, then the fix would be to mix a large enough sample to present to the sensing system...



The one drop tech is the only reason Theranos was ever talked about. We already have equipment that works very well with larger samples.


You're right, I guess there is the small matter of how much more than a drop is needed. If it's 3 drops, that's much better then 3 vials they they sometimes have to draw for covering a range of tests - but it sounds like it might be much larger then a few drops.


Even three drops is much more than one drop, if you're pricking my fingers a bunch of times, I'd rather you just did a traditional draw, it won't hurt when I type later.
