Meanwhile back at Philips..., page-18

Hi all,
There are a lot of very well informed posters here so I was hoping someone could answer this or point me to past discussion.
The I-20 in the pictures above looks great but uses Magnotech technology which, I assume , is not mix and go. It can measure down to pico levels which is more than ok for most biological assays in clinical use. The question is what is the advantage of the mix and go application over Magnotech (I get it is really cool and from a geek point of view, better). Is it cheaper, more stable/reproducible/other? It looks like the POC device to be released will have the MT so is it likely that they will redesign to change to Mand G?
Coming in late and asking questions that probably have been canvassed a lot is a pain but I am interested if anyone has the time.

Cheers all
