You do have an advantage in that with such a small volume, you could probably
get some older versions of TLD equipment pretty cheap. Many of the new TLD
readers I have seen are set up to do 100's-1000's/day. Such a small volume
could allow use of some less sophisticated equipment. I wonder what happens to
the equipment of people who go from doing their own to a service. As long as
the readers work, the vendors will probably still sell you chips.
Perhaps some people out there could discuss what happens to all that equipment.
Would you buy it at the local drive in theatre flea market on saturday
afternoon, or is there some place all that stuff goes (Central America?)?
Of course once you begin your service, do you need NVLAP certification? what
categories? and who is going to run it? What kind of training is required by
your regulators? This is the area that will likely lead to the biggest
headache.
The advantage of a service is that you have the luxury(?) of pushing the ole "I
believe" button when you get your results back.
