2016-10-18 MB and LB Discussion

Do we support the antigen test in both LB and MB?  Yes.

Do we allow antigen and antibody test sharing in LB and MB?

     - LB is for human subject test

     - MB is for microorganism identification only

The screening antigen test is the issue. 

     - The intention of the study is important. 

          - If the intent is the clinical indication of the study then use MB. 

          - If the intent is just a screening test on an entirely different indication then use LB.

Should we have a separate MB domain? 

Should LB and MB go together?
