Tim Helixis is riding the swine flu wave to sell its smaller, cheaper DNA machine. When the swine flu surfaced in Mexico last April, health authorities there turned to the U.S. for help. The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention pinpointed a genetic sequence unique to the new strain of flu and developed a test for it. But the outbreak highlighted a fundamental problem. The instruments used in U.S. labs to test for swine flu and other infectious diseases cost $30,000 to $50,000. The high price puts a dent in patient care. In the developing world the machines are scarce outside big cities.
