Small-ish "rural" hospital (Reidsville NC). Got fifty (50) tests. Can turn around a result in 15-20 minutes. She was responsible for ensuring the tests work okay. The known samples from patients with Covid did test positive, the known negatives were negative, and the Quality Control (QC) tests passed.

Just need more supplies. Two machines, thus 8 tests per hour max.

Better than a couple of weeks ago when the hospital sent all their tests to LabCorp for processing with 3-5 day promised turnaround but in actuality done in 1 day.
