Naive question, because I only knew of ELISA. but can you use MinION or something like it to detect DNA/RNA in blood?
I would be excited if this was cost effective and more sensitive and specific for bacteria and viruses than what we have currently.

Those factors alone make sequencing alone a near impossibility in rapid detection. PCR based assays are a much better candidate and could identify different strains in less than a few hours.
