Good thought! Thank you.

Additional question: are Sanger instruments also very sophisticated and manufactured by those limited few pharmaceutical companies/medical equipment manufacturers? Or is there a need or necessary to scale up the production for Sanger instruments too? I am asking that is because lack of testing is a global issue, not only in the U.S. Africa/India together has 2 billion people are the testing hurdles there are even more challenging.
