This is amazing. I'm having to restrain the part of myself that loves buying gadgets. These not only look cool, from watching their videos and reading about them, they have an awesome function.

Suppose I had some of this equipment and a sick family member. Would it be possible for me to somehow isolate a virus or bacteria from the sick person's saliva or blood and then sequence the DNA/RNA and then use a catalog of genetic information to identify a likely match?
