Thank you AGAIN. It's good to get the information. You didn't mention if the Red Cross is using it...do you know, or did I miss something?

The Red Cross is using it. Last I heard, about 70% of the blood supply in the US is currently tested with this new technology. It is expected that the stragglers will get on board shortly, as this technology really is the gold standard for virus detection. There has been talk of mandating this type of technology for blood testing, especially as more viruses are added to the library of things it can detect.
