Is not ROCHE systems more performants https://www.roche.com/media/releases/med-cor-2020-03-13.htm ?


From your link:

”The widely available Roche’s cobas 6800/8800 Systems, which are used to perform the cobas SARS-CoV-2 Test, provide test results in three and half hours and offer improved operating efficiency, flexibility, and fastest time-to-results with the highest throughput providing up to 96 results in about three hours and a total of 384 results for the cobas 6800 System and 960 results for the cobas 8800 System in 8 hours. The test can be run simultaneously with other assays provided by Roche for use on the cobas 6800/8800 Systems.”


So you need 288 BOSH devices to have the daily throughput of a ROCHE 8800 System


To be fair, there’s a massive price difference between the bosh and roche machine.
