THE NUMBERS BEHIND SARC

Cost per test falls as volume rises

The same pattern shows up whether the cost driver is quality control, reagent purchasing, or the full services-cost breakdown — more volume through the same fixed base, lower cost per test.

iQC cost is constant, Hence the scale gives the advantage

For every doubling of volumes a 10% additional discount in purchase cost. #ScaleHiKhelHai
