Delivery
AAV capsids
AAV capsids are delivery shells. Before any future payload claim matters, the delivery behavior has to be measurable across relevant cell types.
What a capsid question is
AAV research is one possible future application. The useful workflow, equipment requirements, and relevance of a proposed module to HSV-2 research still need to be established.
A useful screening system should make it easier to compare delivery behavior without pretending that a benchtop model is the same thing as a person.
Why scale matters
If only a small number of candidate capsids can be tested under comparable conditions, iteration stays slow.
Whether a modular workflow can support more useful comparisons depends on its capacity, reliability, and fit to the research question. Those benefits have not been demonstrated by LaminarForge.
