So we are in an environment where there are solutions, but it is very important that you select the right solutions for that particular sample.
19:52
I want to add in to link on to your solutions word, because I think that's the important thing that we also see on the ground is that we obviously there's some rescue mechanisms that we can employ.
20:09
But it all comes at a cost, right? There's a give and take to realize, okay, I can rescue this using X protocol, but then we need to understand that maybe 20% of the reads that you're going to get for the sample of the sequencer might not be usable.
20:24
And that's sort of a give and take that we do.
20:27
And that give and take conversation is very important, especially when you have a precious sample, because we've kind of stress-tested Our short read platform recently using the genome in a bottle reference samples.
20:45
So for those people who aren't familiar with it, it's a reference standard sample that you can order from overseas.
20:54
This particular sample has been sequenced by many people on many different platforms.
25:42
You want to go first or first?
