I’ve heard of PCR before (polymerase chain reaction) where more copies of a DNA sample can be rapidly made. If the problem was that the quantity of blood that Theranos uses is too small, why wasn’t PCR used/ (if it was) why didn’t it work?
Also if I’m completely misunderstanding PCR, if someone could for that too, I’d appreciate it, thank you!

Sampling size matters. If I scooped a cup of water out of the ocean, counted the whales in the cup, then multiplied by cups in the ocean, you would not have an accurate count of whales.
