That makes a lot of sense given what you and your colleague wrote in the op-ed. RT-PCR is a really accurate and sensitive screen, but it isn't something your usual clinical lab can run in less than an hour. I imagine that they do not have sample tubes prefilled with Trizol, either.
Of course, it would be a lot cooler if they could use CHISAM buffer. Nothing like yelling out "SHAZAM!!!" right in the middle of an extraction.
